Your videos are the best, do you know of any online courses available in Canada that a Red Seal mechanic could take to help fill in any gaps in knowledge when it comes to hydraulic systems used on equipment? I'm a perfect case study of the Dunning Kruger effect where when I was an apprentice I thought I knew it all but now 15 years later the more I learn the more I realize how little I know. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure why I keep saying 10 connections, when there's clearly only 8. oops.

Incredible video! Any possibility you could show/describe how to install the detent balls and spring for the lift spool?

Brilliant video 👏🏽

This has answered so many questions I had on how these work with excellent visuals. Thank you!

So is it safe to say that Load Checks could not possibly be a factor for Tilt Cylinder Drift when the spool in the HOLD position as the Bridge ports for the load checks are blocked by lands on the spools. (assuming intact iron no cracks in valve body). Also, you went over port relief valves and some newer machines have Pilot Operated Directional Control Valve/ BICS Lock Valves on the lift and tilt circuits with a built in relief to Drain. I've removed mine and checked the orings and back up seals to find they are in tact, but im starting to suspect failure inside the valve itself. They are quite expensive and to just throw the part at my machine is not ideal. Is it possible to Bench test the functionality of these types of valves?
