Got this drag working well on my 442. I have it rigged up manual for now but want to make it hydraulic again.
Right now I have two extra hydraulic lines short looped back to the tank. I want to send one down back. It is 1/2 npt I belive and then the drag uses 3/8?
Can I just step it down with a reducer and have no problems?
Also I want to use a selenoid remote for the control instead of bringing the hydraulics up into the cab with a manual lever. I have one last spot on the switch panel and can put in a momentary up and down on it.
I have no experience with this type of setup so help is appreciated. Looks like northern has what I need but different flow rates.
The piston has almost a 36" throw but it is only 3" or so. Drag is not huge.
The shaft also has some light surface rust on the part of the piston that was exposed sitting out all these years. What is the best way to handle the cleaning or is it a problem?
Thanks
