Tim’s payloader and generator BS thread

You’re exactly right. When I first set it up there was no rear tube steel. After the wedge slide wore in a bit it would bind a bit. So I just welded the 2x2 to the deck and gave it a few degree lean opposite of the wedge to keep tension. By the time it gets to the top it flexes tube forward a tad and it returns on the downstroke.
That seems to be a trouble spot on some splitters and I've wondered how I would address that. I like your idea of leaning the 2x2 to put some tension on it.
 
Resized_20210628_161933.jpegThis hydraulic filter jammed me for a few hours. The bottom piece broke off and stayed in the reservior. The filter I had bought wouldn't fit. I wasn't sure the new filter was correct. I had crossed the filter number using information from non-english websites. I mistook the black glue on the bottom of the old filyer for a rubber seal. I finally went fishing with a hook and pulled up the broken off bottom of the filter.

You should buy a NAPA Gold filter.
 
The newer loader arrived today. The pride of ownership didn't last long. The rear wheels aren't driving. Front wheel drive only. I haven't disassembled it yet to figure out whats wrong. I suspect a planetary failure and parts removed to eliminate the noise it would create.
