You don't understand how much b.s. this saved me from. I have a dump truck that barely lifts itself empty. I just need to adjust this...Thank-you from Rhode Island!
I enjoyed watching your video.twas properly explained.i have an exact pump that's suddenly stopped.help needed.give thanks 👍🏾

Question: Im have trouble with my dump trailer, have flow but no pressure. What would happen if you used hydraulic fluid instead of ATF. Should I drain the tank and put in new ATF fluid. Do you think that it harmed the unit by using the hydraulic fluid? My pump is just like the one you have in your video. Where can I find a pressure relief solenoid as shown in your video? Great job
On a normal daily used situation I would recommend at least one 850 cca battery. But it’s a good idea to have to hooked in parallel to double the amperage.
It should have a pressure and a tank port/return you’ll have to get a spool valve of some kind run you’re in an out from your pump and then you’ll have the spool valve to reverse the flow to whatever you’re working.
@@backintheshop9604 Awesome! Thanks for the quick response! The pump is a hydr-app 24 volt that I just bought from eBay. I am going to use it to power a hydraulic lift mechanism on an rc track drive robot. I have a mill and a lathe, so I might machine a spool for it to make it double action later on.
I’ve got a 10,000# dump trailer and it won’t lift 6 ton in the trailer! Can I adjust more pressure even if it’s set to factory specs? The pump I have runs when going up and going down?
It's never a good idea to change the pressure over factory spec with dump trucks / trailers they usually get worn out from contamination dirt gets thru the breather wears out the pump and the lift cylinders but the weakest part is probly the piston seals on the lift cylinder
@@ViVA-MEXICO-AMLO I’d be more than happy to do that if that’s what it takes to dump heavier loads as it should…..very frustrating getting 3 yds of trap rock and the dump trailer won’t dump it…..doing it by hand is defeating the purpose of using a dump trailer!
So, if I'm going to be running a cylinder on a dump trailer with a max working pressure of 2200psi, what would be the best pressure to set the pump at?
Hi how bout. Wiring 12 volt pump.. my hydraulic pump has one wire out back .I need to look at box on the side . By knob. Probably pressure knob. Says not over 1000 pounds. It’s a small platform lift lol. Can’t find non like it. Fabtek think they sold out to hyster I read. ?? I’m just learning, but I can start a Harley. Lol
My friend hi you doing I have 2013 ford f550 dump no work I press the botton up doing nothingI press the raise button and it doesn't do anything it doesn't make a noise like it's dead 
I have a lowboy trailer using the same hydraulic system. The trailer will go up but leaks down in about 30 seconds. It has two way cylinders that pressure down. I took the check valves out and they seem to be working. What do you think the problem is ?
Anyway possible to increase the flow of these pumps ?? They run at around 1.5-2 gpm…. Would be nice to get 3gpm. Would lift the dump body probably twice as quick…
I have a bale bed on my truck. It won't lift the arms up or down or side to side. Could it be the pump. Is all signal action can they be turned into double act
I need help with a porta power pump I bought that doesn't Force the fluid to the cylinder a video on that would be cool there's not much on the internet about them
Check the fluid level, make sure all of the couplers are actually releasing, so the fluid can flow other than that. You may have to disassemble the entire thing and do some investigating.
Fluid was good. I swapped the pumps with one I borrowed and used the hoses and the cylinder from the kit and everything worked normally. So it's something inside the pump. And that's were I have an ignorance overload.😅..I just can't grasp the overall mechanics of the thing until someone explains it to me.. I have the vevor 12 ton jack.
I have a hydraulic pump like yours but I cannot see how you wired it. I believe I have it wired correctly but all it does is click, it will not circulate the fluid. Can send me a picture of how you wired it? or link? I am using a 2 prong toggle switch for the lift. If it would work better using a 3 wire up & down controller, I might have to do that.
Mine just has a power and a ground hook up. The solenoid and remote are already pre-wired. I just tapped into there is no wires for my extended remote. You should be able to look up the model of your pump and find a wire diagram on Google images or the manufacture website.
ive got a pump like this but it has 2 solenoids and another adjustment on the other side. now does the adjustments do the opposite side? (like this appears to do), mine does have forward and reverse rotation. 0
I have a single acting pump but my gravity down goes down very slow. Do you think I have a bad solenoid. I’d rather make it a duel solenoid system but don’t know what to do with the second port
Yes, your solenoid is most likely bad. To use one as a double action, you just have to have a spool valve with a in and out and then you can use it to control the direction of pressure.
@@backintheshop9604 My solenoid on a older Fennel fluid pump doesn’t have a part number on it. Are most solenoids coils within the same voltage interchangeable or are they pump specific? Having a hard time figuring where to start my part replacement search.
@@truhawaii5957 most of the solenoid coils are the same either 12 or 24 V but I’m pretty sure the work on either. The part that’s different is the stem or mechanical part that the coil fits on that is going to be more specific to your pump you may be able to remove it and take it to a local Hydraulic shop and see if they can identify or match it up by dimension.
Lifting and turning is all in the valving you use the levers and valves, most bucket trucks only have one pump on them but they have to be dual action pumps.
I got to looking on mine, mine has 2 of where yours has only 1, mine is a dual I believe, going to 2 cylinders, up and down, also mine doesn't sound like this does, btw mine is a northern tool brand
maybe could help me..my pump is used on a tow rig aswell every is working but my wheni need to open l arms it doesn't open makes a clicking sound like it's out of fluid
It sounds like one of your Solenoid valves is bad. You’ll have to figure out which one controls the arms. If it’s clicking the solenoid it self should be fine but I would check and make sure you have a good 12 volts to it. The valve threads into the block and the solenoid fits onto it you remove the solenoid and then unthread the valve. The pressure relief valve it’s just for Max pressuring you shouldn’t need to adjust it it’s been working
My solenoid just clicks when I press my buttons... And motor does not come on when I connect it directly. IT'S BRAND NEW!!! NEVER BEEN USED... COULD IT BE VOLTAGE? BATTERY IS NOT COMPLETELY AT 12V ON THE VOLT METER
I will check your battery. Make sure it’s good and all your connections are good. If that all checks out I would say you have a brand new defective pump.
You must not have seen many hydraulic pumps, mine on my dump truck is single acting, and it only has on port not two. And I just replaced it with the same pump and again one port two, not one being plugged just one port, it raises up and gravity feeds back down. Just to let you know there are lots of single acting pumps that have only one port.
@@backintheshop9604 I understand all that believe me I have worked on plenty of them, but what you said in the video was that all pumps come with two ports and that is not correct, you can buy single action pumps with only one port like the two I have, they are designed to replace PTO pumps that gravity feed back down on older trucks like My 59 Ford dump truck. You said you have never seen a single acting pump with only one port, I just wanted to let you know they do make them and they are available for people who need them. Look up part number 36NE08 on the Grainger website and you will see what I am talking about ..One port single acting pump, not two ports. I think your doing great with describing thing and how they work, but if you tell people that all pumps have two ports, then you are misleading them, because there are plenty of single acting pumps with only one port on them.
Oh okay I understand. Yeah I haven’t personally seen one with only on port. I guess if you needed to change it you’d have to installed a return port in the tank. Thanks for the info.
