If anybody needs a Hiab 650 knuckle boom with new hoses and valves let me know.... I ran across a autocrane 8005 with wireless remote that might follow me home. :D

When you go to park the crane you lift the second cylinder elbow section a few inches off the parking mount. (In this position there is ~3" above the solenoids) But as the arm shoulder cylinder swings the arm its starts moving in a arc as it extends, I tried to retract the arm extension cylinder...

After trying so many ways of parking the crane I found that sadly, I can't get crane to clear the solenoids and pump, When the crane is parked it clears the box with room to spare. But in the swing of the closing motion it will crush the solenoids. So I'll have to ditch the solenoids and go to...

Picked up another HF54 yesterday as a backup for cheap still need to get the first one in. But started working on knuckleboom again and found my control box might be too tall when I go to fold the crane. Hopefully I just need to move the parking pawl on the crane up so it sits up higher. As...

Its been months but I finally got a chance to work on the crane again last night! Fixing some wiring problems I made the first time, and trying to figure out a pressure problem I was having, (and still having) on the swing cylinders jumping I'm thinking one of my flow valves is not working...

Switched and estops came, the project boxes and switch guards are trapped in the mail room limbo till next week. Broke the cylinder I had for my old dump trailer project out to design a 3 link dewey style scissor hoist for the dump bed. And got some more 3d printers at work.

Well I was screwing around with the pump, and It might have not been the pump at all. I think I had a bad solenoid valve that was allowing flow to loop from port to tank. or I had my pressure relief set to low I was supposed to be preset for 2500psi. Now I'm planing on a dump bed, so I had the...

While the knuckleboom would be more useful close in and is more agile, I'll typically be using this to load a unload gear from the bed to the rear or the side typically never out front (other than when I swap the multifuel for the 5.9) in the position the knuckle boom is in it will give me a...

I've been working this slowly last few weeks, making a box that can hold the 24v pump and all the solenoids, plumbing and wiring in the space of the cranes old manual valves was a pain. And I got my 24v pump hooked up and its way to low of a GPM to run this even semi normally it takes over a...

I finally was able to get to the guy with the bendix 550, so many days of schedule conflicts. I put a 550 on my multifuel for more compressed air, and wow this is heavier than even the other 550! (I mean it does have a Now I'll have to make up a oil return line/bung and weld it to the oil pan...

The outlets come out at a slight angle. I'll look for the parts from the FL70 I'm going to a truck wrecking yard friday. Its a SAE #2 I was thinking about the FSO6406 I'm thinking it should hold up to the 5.9 I'm not going to turn it up to much. I found a guy on facebook marketplace that had...

Not much done on the crane last couple days, I did though pick up the cummins 12 valve! Now they listed it at the auction as being a 1997 so a 215hp, well its a 1995 so its a 175hp but its a p pump cummins so its easy to turn the star wheel. Now the transmission that came with it I hoped was a...

Wish I was had more time for it, I've been waiting for parts for weeks now. That and random work for my buddies, "hey can you make my van into a high roof conversion so I can live in it this summer when I'm out west shooting tin type photos?" "Sure that should only take one day...." three days...

Got a little work done, tapped some lines, then brazed a few fittings, I did some crap welds on the hard lines for the outriggers, slapped on some OD paint, then I bought out the rural king of hydraulic hoses to get started getting the hydraulic lines in. I have no idea how I'll be able to...

Err....? wheel cylinders? Well I am doing a disc brake swap with a hydromax booster, the remote style master is coming in a few days. Seams my new one wire 21SI 24v 70amp alternator is coming today maybe (its only been out for delivery for the last week and a half, thanks fedex... address...

Its been a while since I updated but Stripped off all the old hoses Pulled the cylinders off and brazed on new fitting on a few Moved the crane around by hand with a high lift jack and some swearing. Pulled the liftmoore crane off. Ordered a ton of hoses off surplus center Painted it OD green...

Found some threads on PTO searching from google instead. One about output RPM so at with winch PTO and the engine at 1000rpm it will have 1435rpm in high or 650rpm in low and 975rpm in reverse. Also it seems I'm looking for a Chelsea 308454-3, Spicer WD 7-28 or WND 7-28 Time to search the ebay

Well, got a little welding done on the bed yesterday, I still need to grind out some rust before I can get the front of the bed mounted and welded back up. Now I started taking off all the stock hydraulic lines so I can get some lines ordered and some 1405 -04-06 fittings silver soldered to the...

Well, I rigged up a adapter test adapter with my 110v hydraulic power unit, a five gallon bucket of cheap oil, funnel and a piece of pvc pipe. I found the first two valves leak badly, and I twisted off the end of one of the hard lines capping it off. So I'm going to go to a wireless...

Yesterday I didn't get as much as I wanted done, I did get the sides of the bed welded back together and the troop seats and side cut down. As for the knuckle boom I moved it forward a 2" since I noticed when I putting in the U bolts that I would hit the air tanks, but I could move it forward...
