I have a truck hoist that I am working on. This is a rough drawing of the hoist, and mine is not made exactly like I have drawn it. The pin at point C is froze up, so I have cut the hoist apart and am in the process of making a new pin and sleeve or bushing whichever it is called. At points A and D there is roughly .060 thousands clearance between the pipe and the round stock that goes into the pipe. That .060 could be from wear; this hoist is far from new. Point B I can not measure for you can not get it apart because it is not necessary. There is quite a bit of clearance at point B though. The yoke at the end of the cylinder should have been drawn with dotted lines for it is inside the frame work. All the pipe used on the hoist appear to be schedule 40.
Does anyone know how much clearance is at these points or does it really matter? I was planning on putting .030 to .040 thousands at point C. Any thoughts?
