Lifting system replacement
Question I have a 96 towlite the hydrolic lifting system was shot. So I have removed it and put a 2500 lb winch to lift but with no luck. Any suggestions.

Maybe repair the hydraulic system..???
|
That is going to be our best way. Thank you👍
|
Yes, it's worth it! What troubleshooting have you done? Starter motor? Hydraulic cylinder leak? There are a limited number of possibilities! Good luck.

Pulled pump and motor they were shot replacing cables they were not in good shape either tho trying to find the right size is frustrating and I'm having the piston rebulit
|
I believe this is the pump that some have used as a replacement.

That is a single action the one I purchased not 10 minutes ago was the double action. I hope I didn't make a bad purchase😵

Sorry I did not see this sooner. Here is a link to the exact pump on my 2002 24' unit. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydrau...ump-9-7963.axd Probably made for Hi-Lo before they went out of business. Good luck.

Thank you very much.

Cables
Okay so still no luck finding cables tho I do have a good idea of size 5/32. Any suggestions?
|
Did you contact either Midget or JR trailers to purchase cable? They will know the right diameter at least. I'm pretty sure there's nothing special about these cables...i.e. they're not stainless steel.
A cheapie digital caliper would give you a definitive answer on diameter, though I think your measuring tape would be sufficient. https://www.amazon.com/Tacklife-DC01...rds=micrometer Here's a write-up on replacing and adjusting the cables: https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f22/...djustment-125/ It looks very thorough, at 15 pages in length. Harbor Freight sells a 50' roll of 5/32" wire rope for $10. https://www.harborfreight.com/50-ft-...ope-69799.html Or 100' for less than $15. Does this help? Good luck |
