Jerky loader (revisited)

RalphWD45 · Sep 25, 2018

Two days ago, I posted, asking for help, on my DuAl loader, being jerky when lowering and raising. I was thinking that it must be my control valves, being as both cylinders, and the pump had recently been rebuilt. I was told by three of you guys, that the problem was more than likely lack of oil coming into the pump, either air being sucked in , low oil level, restricted hose diameter on the supply hose, ect. Adirondack Case guy seems to have hit it spot on! He said it might be my breather cap restricted. I pulled the breather cap, operated the loader, and it was much better. The breather cap has a brown hard filter element, about 2" OD, in it that was plugged with old oil, and dust. I now have to find a new filter element for it. I wrote this , to THANK you guys for the replies. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Put the breather cap in a coffee can and cover it with gas. shake it around in the gas for a while then let it sit for say and hour. Then blow it out real well with air and maybe then spray it out with carb cleaner spray and I'll bet it will be good to go again

If you scrape it with a knife does it look like brass or bronze? If so it is what I think is called sinistered or tightly pressed together shavings but still will let air pass through. Some old GM vehicles used that type of filter in the carb inlet. I believe this is the type of filter ...old... is suggesting to clean.
