One thing I have wondered is when should I change the hydraulic filter?
Now no need to guess. I found several psid indicator gauges that had been binned. To see if they might be useable for anything I shop ait tested them. The needle starts to move at 5psid and is in the red at about 20psid. Perfect for all my applications.
I'm sure when it first fires up with cold fluid it will be in the red, probably even with a new filter, as long as it comes down from the red when warm I'll leave it be.
