Looks good RW . Now you got the 11 in the right way What size pump did you get ? just curious . Oh I've been tryin to get a hold of you to ask how you attached the servo horn to the valves ( bangs head into wall ) Drill center out , make spacer or get flat head screw for valve ? My thinkin is the servo horn should but right against the the valve horn .

Missed your call Steve, I'll get ahold of you. On the valve the servo spline should just slip into the horn that is attached to valve. Some pics would be helpful for me to show you, give me some time and I'll try and get some pics of what I'm talking about. I use the smaller flow pump from premacon. Almost all models don't need the bigger one, this is one exception as I probably could use the higher volume on the bigger pump to lift bed slightly faster. But again I haven't messed with speed or any fine tuning yet.

On my D6 , I put my pump on the rotary knob on my DX8 spektrum radio . I have the speed real low .

Can't wait to watch you build a ramp, and drive the dozer into the half filled truck for transport to the next job site!

On your piston design change, did you go from weld to a drilled cross hole with a pin? And then did you have to weld on the other end of the o ring cap? All these pictures makes me want to try machining something similar. Thanks for the photos!
