RE: pre lube
Thanks builder.
Thanks builder.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Correct. I was not referring to that plug, but the 1/2" or so plug at the bottom rear of the filter housing next to the oil cooler. That is the drain plug, it is an unfiltered port, so oil from the prelubricator will flow up into the filter cans, around and through the filters, and thus be filtered before it reaches the oil galleries.builder77 said:The large plug centered between the two cans is the plug that the bypass valve for the filters is mounted in.
Cool deal. What's the specs on the pump?pump. not as big as the ones on this thread, but about 3" diameter by 8" long
A nice package if you can afford it. I doubt a 1/5 hp pump will get you 45 psi though, even with warm oil. It should give you enough flow to fill the cannisters and give you 10 psi or so once the cannisters and oil galleries are filled which is certainly adequate for what is needed. The duece oil system is so huge that it has a very low hydraulic resistance, so it takes a high oil flow rate to build up much pressure.OPCOM said:Their motors are rated in "amps".. the 7.5A/24v one being of the "heavy duty" variety. 7.5 amps at 24 volts is something like 1/5 HP.
Are you referring to the plug that is behind the Oil Cooler Bypass Value? By "behind" I mean "closest to the block"? (See Bjorn's picture on page four of this post).Correct.
