That's funny... And I thought my FIL just ripped it off.snow blower engines don't have air filters. you could rig one up...
Man... Didn't even catch the 1/2 NPT on the cylinder (as you and key #4 point out). I guess that's what I get for trying to post while at work while looking over my shoulder so I don't get caught (its easier than trying to keep doing this stuff on my phone at home).That thing has a mess of 90's in it. Ditch the 90's and a 1/2" hose will work fine. The cylinder has 1/2 NPT ports on it. Go to surpluscenter.com and order some hoses. if angles are needed, 45's are not terrible for flow.
Well... I just went through an exercise in taking off and putting back on hydraulic lines. I took off the 3/8" ID hard line and went to put on the 1/2" NPT lines. Only come to find out that the new lines are also 3/8" ID! I guess I was wrong in thinking that they were 1/2" ID. So now I have some hoses that will hang out in the garage until who knows when.
hard lines are usually measured in OD, and pipe/hoses are measured in ID, but ID is usually @ sch 40, anything heavier then the ID shrinks... hose is always measured in ID which is usually true to the size stated, only the fittings are where the id shrinks...
Yeah, I figured it was just the fittings that were 3/8" on the hose. Do the fittings generally have enough meat on them to be drilled out to the 1/2"? Or does it not stretch the ID of the hose to larger than 1/2" at the fitting? I wouldn't think there would be any stretching though.
Maybe 3/4" hoses with adapters to the 1/2" would have been the way to go?
I wish I could just afford a TW-5 and be done with it...
