I was able to order the lift without the control/power unit... I wanted to do it my way. The limit switch is rated for 240v and can handle the current of the contactor... so I just wired it in series with the contactor. Lift gets to the top... shuts off. The lock I just plumbed it a 2 position...

That was probably me... I originally bought a Deli brand off eBay but man that thing was junk. The motor burnt up after a year. I tore it apart thinking I might be able to fix it but it melted the windings. No thermal protection... they 100% copied the SPX Fenner units. I ended up just buying...

I bought one at $349. I believe they give a 30 day guarantee on price... sweet! $50 back. I mulled over the Yukon and this Husky. I was mainly after the workbench aspect of this box so the extra depth of the Husky over the Yukon was a selling point. Having drawers vs doors also pushed me...

It is a push to connect fitting into the unloader valve. Try reseating it. The whole pressure switch is probably a Condor mdr11/11ea. Husky only sells the complete switch as a servicable item (~$45). You really only need the unloader which is a 1/4 turn to remove from the back. You might be able...

What viscosity oil are you using? A low grade 46 weight oil gets really thick in freezing temps. The parachute valve works off pressure drop through an orifice. The thick oil can be tripping the valve at a lower flow rate when really cold. When the valve trips, you will hear a "snap". 1...

A quick update... I pulled the cylinders out and dropped them off at a local hydraulic shop. The slave cylinder had a small leak coming from the seal around the rod. This seal is a simple oring as it isnt under much pressure. The oring looked to be extruded some through the housing. So $210...

Sold

Yeah only a few months. The low pressure side of the slave cylinder is leaking as well. The top of the cylinder were the rod comes out is wet. The oring is visiably jacked up and started to extrude out. Same way the manual says to. Run it all the way up, bypass the limit switch then run the...

Well after a few months of almost daily use, I think I have a seal failure. One day it was perfectly fine, the next it's acting up. I believe that the seal on the piston in the master cylinder is leaking. The master platform is lagging the slave. When at rest, the master will even slowly fall as...

Spent the weekend laying down my floor from Legacy Industrial. SD Epoxy, full flake, and two coats of nohr-s. The lifts are going in now. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Ok made some progress. Here is how I mounted my pump. The valve on the right is the main pressure supply. I added an adjustable flow control so I can dial in the speed. The ball valve on the left is the leveling valve that also gets main pressure. I also added a pressure gauge to know how much...

Ok so here is my solution for the velocity valves (aka parachute or line burst valves). The fittings on the cylinders are G1/4" face seal to G1/4" JIS (60° BSPP). JIS is not very common domestically so finding velocity valves to directly fit wasn't happening. I used a 9006-06-04 adapter fitting...

Nice! I bet that screams. I still have the stock bottom end 6.0l. We'll see how long it lasts at 14psi and moving 4000+ lbs. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

It's the rebar to put in the pit. I drill a bunch of 5/8" holes 4" deep into the existing slab. Im going to epoxy them in... it wll look like this. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
