D series Hydro motor teardown Video

[coldone 35]

With all the recent fun we have been having with the D series hydros, I thought I would try my hand at making some vids. I picked up this motor on ebay for a great price. It came off a C series tractor.

Here is my disclaimer, I am no professional hydro rebuilder, I am putting together these vids to help out others and to show the internals of the hydros. I was very intimidated to begin with about tearing into these hydros. I hope these vids help others.

PS. There will be more of them coming.

This is incredible work! Marvelous. Thank you so much I am sure it will be a big help to anyone with a Sunstrand hydro. I can't wait to see more!!!

Great videos my friend. I am looking forward to the rest.

Also, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who uses the container lids as a workspace.

5 star stuff !

You can read the manual again and again and try to visualise what's involved but to see it actuallly being done is a great help.

Great videos - looking forward to the next episode.

This is bringing back some memories! Nice job!

One idea... Try putting the camera either on a tripod or a good solid surface and rotate the viewing screen toward you. Then, you could bring your work to the camera rather than the camera to your work. That will keep both hands free and you can see the viewfinder image easily.

More vids are a coming, havent had time yet to mess with them. Stay tuned.
