Tim’s payloader and generator BS thread

I wouldn't as a preventive. Alcohol will grab water from the air, increasing the likelihood of water contamination (different story if'n it's already contaminated).
Red's problem could be a bit 'o' water freezing in the pickup as Tim suggested. Could also just be some of the components of the hydro oil (paraffins and such) gelling in cold weather (like what happens with diesel fuel). Thinking it might be time to change out the dino hydro oil for some synthetic. If Red had the rig apart recently and filled 'er with new Hydro oil, then it shouldn't be water contaminated yet unless it's been in some downpours and water found a way in.
I'm going to use synthetic hydro fluid for the next change on my tractor. Hydraulics are a little sluggish in cold weather if'n the rig cold soaks outside rather than sitting in the insulated shed (which doesn't seem to get below 40deg f even when it's in the single digits or the negatives). A fellow could also stick a magnetic pan heater to the bottom of the hydro/trans sump during really cold weather.
We had nearly 50 degree temp swing from Wednesday to Thursday. 45 degree high on Wednesday, minus 4 low on Thursday. After the storm cleared out, we had a high of 9 degrees and no wind. It was actually a nice day. I got the snow moved with the loader. The loader hyd valve seems to be leaking. Pretty much a constant drip. It leaks worse than it did when I pulled it out and paid $200 to have it re-sealed 2 years ago. I think I'll do it myself this time.

Purveyor of bullshit, mostly.
Could be? Sounds like it's hunting for position. Was it all the way up or somewhere in between?
More serious, but less likely, cavitation. Pump sucks a little air, hitch drops, catches oil again and goes back to position. You should hear a growling/chattering noise while it's doing this if that's the case.
That explains why so many dates and so few girlfriends!
It was right before top when pump starts to whine if its all the way raised.
Ran it up lane last night, was about 20* 3 pt seemed fine.
Done with some more stuff on the Schaeff.
Fixed the brakes, 1st time they've worked since I bought it. It uses a automotive type master cylinder with mineral oil instead of brake fluid. Wet clutches internal to the front axle and an actuator on the hydrostat pump. The actuator neutrals the pump so the machine isn't trying to drive against the brakes. I think it does this by centering the swash plate. Anywho, If the brakes stay working, it was an easy fix. Just a leak at a brake line and bleed the air out.
I installed a nice slight used Grammer MSG20 suspension seat with armrest. When I was a Wacker equipment dealer, Wacker brought me a WL-18 wheel loader for repairs. The saleman had tipped it on it's side and wrecked the engine. Anything less than perfect was replaced. The seat got a slight scratch in it, got replaced. The $00-$500 seat has been sitting in the shed for years.
Now I got a tire or two going flat. I must've run over some nails doing the garage demolition this last summer.
Been researching some fix-a-flat type products along with beat juice, and other stuff. Any suggestions? I see a latex rubber solution with kevlar bits that looked good. Then researched Slime and it seems to be similar but thicker in consistency. I'm thinking of trying Slime(I got nearly a full gallon jug) thinned out with windshield washer fluid. Windshield washer fluid is one of the things guys have been using for ballast. The alcohol in it thins out the Slime really well.

Here is you take a tire to a tire place with slime in it they wont work on it.
natural rubber tubes.
eye'm guessin tube tires. slime, etc wont werk fer long, if at all...
I got some stuff in 5 gal pails similer to slime.I got it befor slime came out.I had got a set of tires for my backhoe for free.Had a ton of plugs in them.I patched all the plugs but the tires would still leak.One would be flat after a couple days,the other a week. a gallon and a half in each tire,and i never had a flat again with those tires.Wore them out so money well spent.
Most tire guys hate Slime, stuff is nasty if released under pressure like when you pull a Schrader valve out.
And it fixes a lot of tires the tire guy could have made bank on.

In the early '90s I used some stuff called Pneumaseal for repairing leaking tires on lawn/garden equipment. The stuff came in five gallon buckets. Was a milky off-white goop with lots of fibers and tiny chunks of rubber. Thicker than Slime, which wasn't out yet. Worked pretty well, except when it didn't. Breaking down a tire that had the goop installed for an internal patch or installation of a tube was an absolute bitch. I can see why the tire guys hate Slime.
It's really not bad...
Just like any other profession you can be a pansey wimp or just get the job done and don't whine about it.
Fugn modern day bullshit,Oh my feelers have been hurt because you have inconvenienced me doing what i have been paid to do

good video comparison of the different products.

The Multiseal in that video looks a lot like the Pneumaseal I used in 1994 or so.
He's not talking about your sex life, dumbass.
