New direction 10 years on

Nice… I’m getting excited.

Worked all week with my flatbed. Had a little time last night and all day today. The taillight wiring off the single screw was wrapped up and it uncoiled long enough I don’t even have to splice or extend anything. The crossmember and liners are in permanent. Had a few problems with a broken air bag, shock and A broken fitting on an air can from it being handled by the yard. Also the main feed line is larger on the tandem than the original truck. I wasn’t able to get the fittings I needed today but I’ll send the wife for them this week. I’m off with a weeks worth of flatbed work in the morning.

 

Pump installed and fluid changed. Cleaned off the rear panel for new lights. Back to flatbed work tomorrow. Hope to make a bit more headway on Saturday?

 

Yup, and plan on pulling it apart after a week or so to check it? Cleaning up some lose ends today. Got a pile of fittings to get to get this all plumbed together. So making a list.

 

Picked up the new skids on the way home today.

 

Alright I got a question? (Lookin at you @IH9300SBA ) I’m trying to set my pump up as a two line pump. It purchased as a single line kit. The pump has two outflows on it with a plug in one. It says you can use that as a return / bypass by pulling the plug and installing a spacer in the other one. I also bought a filter and am plumbing a return line in the catwalk. Dose the return from pump go through filter or after it?
The control also only allows the pto to be engaged once the lever is in the raise position. It kicks the pto out if you move the lever back to lower. That seems like normal operation for a single line but not for dual line?

I literally don’t know anything about this stuff so any option or advice would be helpful.
