We had a hydraulic pump basically explode and now we have shrapnel running through all the hydraulic lines and the filters. We fixed the pump ( rebuild) everything is working better except a few glitches that we think are filter related...? We have bled out the lines, filtered the oil, cleaned whatever strange filter was in there already, Our machine has one main filter and I need to find the right one to fit. Whomever we bought it off, put one in there that isn't for this machine making it even harder to find the RIGHT filter as there is no info on it. I believe its the MAIN filter for the pump. Anyone know anything? I'm new to the excavator world ( a damsel in distress :0) ) TIA
Are there any numbers on the old filter? You could try looking in a Baldwin filter catalogue or other brand name and there may be a listing for your machine.
Hi, Thank you for your reply. No, since it looks like a filter that is not actually meant for this machine ( there is a part that looks like it is supposed to screw onto the top of the filter), but the filter has no threads. No numbers anywhere either. I'll definitely check out that catalogue! Thanks again for your reply. Appreciated.
Some pics. would certainly help. If it's not something that came with the machine, it could be anything.
