Two more questions on 99E motor grader

Thats the most important one there on the dash...its the dash lamp/bulb holder. lol, it's missing the cover.

Hi, Bernard.
I'd guess that the valve you are referring to is a diverter valve to switch from one hydraulic function to another. But I do stand to be corrected.

JUst my 0.02.

maybe a proportioning valve or balancing valve of some kind. i dont think it a diverter unless its auto matic or hydraulically operated as theres no levers on it. or wiring if it was electric controlled

Might be hydraulic circuit for a front "V" plow lift.

Hi Bernard, On your other post in the picture of the machine I'm sure I can see hydraulic powered blade tilt and blade slide, the valve may operate the 2 circuits from one main control in cab and this one possibly works as a diverter to swap function ???

Hi, trainzkid88
Who is your optician? Whoever it is, you may need a second opinion. There is a lever and a control rod sticking out like the proverbial 'restroom in the arid region'.

Just my 0.02.

on second look its hiding at the bottom of the valve. and yes im due a new pair of glasses these bastards are scratched.

Hi Bernard, the blade slide, I would normally think it would be spring return so not to activate after you require it to stop, may need to check how to lubricate spool and spring ? most likely to have some condensation dung in it, that will hold the spool easily in place after you release.Yes the hydraulic system will make cries of help at the end of stoke they all do if you have ears that work.
