The Good Lord giveth, and the budget taketh away.John,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after pricing all the "Stained Lexan" that would be needed for the "Air Force Academy Chapel Module", this project (like so many other potentially great military projects) fell victim to spending cut-backs! This is mostly due to the projected downsizing of my motor pool for FY-2014.....I'm really sorry about that John!

Manually exercise cylinders, drain all lines, patience and beerMy question is How do you get ALL the crap oil out off ALL the lines, cylinders, ect. no matter what you do you have a major mess on your hands.
Disconnect it at the lowest point and let it drip out, also helps when it's disconnected and you manually exercise the cylinders as that will push the fluid out.Looking good Soni!!!!
I have old motor grader that I need to bleed all the cylinders and hoses on. Not Sure how to get it out of all the hoses.
As mentioned already, there are different ways to go about the clean out of a contaminated hydraulic system.My question is How do you get ALL the crap oil out off ALL the lines, cylinders, ect. no matter what you do you have a major mess on your hands.
I'm using drill bits. It seems that they hold up better then the cutters I tried. On a double frame there is a layer of rust/corrosion in between the inner and outer frame rails. This crap is pretty rough to drill trough and the drill bits just fair better!920 when you use your mag drill, are you using cutters instead of drill bits ????
The crap hyd. fluid is a issue that I am going to have to deal with with the m819, I see a MAJOR mess in this operation, need to park the truck in a field of weeds, then dump away, just not sure on how to get all the crap fluid out of enerything, trying to hold off till I install the power divider and change rotation of the pump.
That is what I thought, but I was told that AW-46 hydraulic fluid is designed to "SUSPEND" water. Do you, or anybody here know if this type of fluid will still let the water settle to the bottom, if you let it sit long enough?Now if you let those cans of contaminated fluid sit for a month or so you will find perfectly clean fluid on top and the water on the bottom. Carefully draw the fluid off the top and you have many gallons of clean fluid ready for the next disaster. Been there done that. Actually found out by accident when I was ready to dispose of it and took the lid off and thought I grabbed the wrong bucket.
I got them from a company in Florida: CHASSIS KING INC.What company did you get you corner castings and ISO locks from?
Well....at this point it is more like a 5 ton.....there are about 2 tons of stuff missing off of it...lolLooks Great Soni! Did I spot a Marine 7 ton (MTVR) in one of those pictures?
