maxtorman1234 Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Hi, I have a 416H with a vickers hydro. It ran great and I had full power at all speeds. Today I took the shroud off the back and cleaned out the transmission cooler. Everything was back on in an hour. I adjusted the brake and clutch so it would fully disengage. Now, When I go up to a hill I cant climb it at full speed. I have no power at all, and it really works the engine. I don't hear belts slipping, the tension seems good and I havent done anything that should change the way it worked. At about 1/2 speed, I have power. I can't find what is wrong, I have checked everything. Has this happened to anybody else? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
D-17_Dave Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Check for a kinked hose or something you might have done while cleaning. Also recheck the clutch pedal play, as the unit warmed up it may have stretched the belt a little or may be allowing it to slip. The pedal should have a little play in it before it takes hold of the idler in order for the belt to run tight all the time.
maxtorman1234 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks, That's the problem. I tightened the pedal so it didn't vibrate. Guess that took tension off the belt. You cant adjust them like you can with a sunstrand. I think I'll try to put a sunstrand in it sometime:)
D-17_Dave Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 It might have something to do with the linkage, but I like the Vickers hydro better. I get a lot more control out of my HB212 than the 7016 or newer RBT with hydros. Just my opinion, only thing is you can add hydrolic lift on the sundstrand pumps.
maxtorman1234 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Posted November 7, 2004 I Like the vickers, they're smooth and seem to control better, but I find the sunstrand stand up longer and never give me trouble. You can put hydraulic lift on both, but im not 100% sure how to on a vickers.
