John,
Have one other suggestion.
I just spent ~ 40 minutes trying to figure out how to send you a PM and don't have any more time to waste on this site (could not even find my Email info here) – so I will post here in the public forum.
Go to the TractorByNet.com site, go to the Chinese Tractor section and post your problem there. There is a member there (RonMar) who is very knowledgeable about these backhoes and will respond if he is available.

I did that, thanks Ron
Just so this is clear I am using a:
25 GPM SUCTION LINE FILTER
New ZINGA. Spin-on type element. Ports 1 1/4" NPT.
SPECIFICATIONS
Suction Line Applications 25 Micron
25 GPM
5 PSI bypass
950 sq in filter area
5 1/3" dia x 9 1/3" long
25gpm for a 7 gpm pump sounds fine to me
I finally got time to work on this today, I am putting two constant torque hose clamps on all hoses, the second one pinches on top on the ridge at the end of the nipples. Every place a leak may occur is getting a coat of rtv, its sloppy, I'll clean it up with a razor blade later. I have finally had five days of sun and its dry enough to drive the tractor on the dirt tomorrow so I am doing this on new years eve, Happy New Year!
I reused the O-ring on the tank outlet fitting(originally), I didnt like how it looked, I have removed it and cleaned it good with carb cleaner and am sealing it with rtv.
I am going to remove the filter and re-oil it and retighten it.
I think I am catching every place I might get air intrusion.
I used Loctite 545 on all the pipe fittings, I am not breaking them loose at this point.
If I still have a problem tomorrow I will get a fitting and remove and bypass the filter
Note- the flow is right on the filter
If I am missing something, let me know, any ideas are welcome. |

Ok, first problem, without the o-ring the outlet fitting tightened up to an unusable position, so I removed the fitting, reinstalled the o-ring-I figured it should seal this time with all the rtv and tightened it up its a tad higher than the first time (I hope thats OK).
Second problem, I could not remove the filter by hand and its too big for any filter wrench I have ,I didnt want to ruin it by putting a screwdriver in it (I do have a spare though). So I am leaving that for now, will seal it with rtv around the edges in the morning.
I cleaned the tank outlet with carb cleaner sprayed onto a brush (I didn't want to get the carb cleaner in the tank)

(Copy & paste)
That all looks good John, but I question two things.
1) The eyebolt on the pumps reaction bar: Was that a grade 2 eyebolt or was it a hook. If it was an eyebolt it's ready to let go. (I use a forged eyebolt on mine.)
2) The hose clamps. The constant torque type that you used have little advantage over the previous worm drive clamps. The T-bolt type clamps have a tremendous advantage. But we'll see what happens tomorrow.
Happy New Year :thumbsup:

Copy and paste is the same as windows except use the command key instead of the control key. So copy is command C and paste is command V. Not sure what you mean by drag pics in???
