Hi
Does anyone have a procedure for bleeding air from the hydraulics on a 40 scraper?

You might need to place the scraper across a small ditch to allow the full stroke of the bowl cylinder.  That way the bowl can be lowered to the max travel.

Mike aka CJ; I received your PM late last night; looks like D4Jim answered your question...
Hope all is well, long time no see. Still have a photo of you on the D5 and Atlas plow if you want a copy.
Always room for more scrapers here by the way. Hint hint!!! JM

Thank you!
Yes D4Jim helped me. It’s working well now.
I’ll keep you posted if I decide to sell. It’s the newer serial number with flotation tires; the rims look original or maybe dealer mod.
Yes I would like a copy of your picture; really had fun. My email address is [email protected]
and cell 360-606-8000
Thanks again!

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
