Well fuck, I thought I'd have a cool comment in saying I've been swapping out Parker parts for ten years on various aircraft in Manitoba. But I guess the Swedish dude who plasma nitrated this stuff has me beat. Anyway, thanks to the masked hero who stole the part from work for the sake of this vijayo. Cool shit inside that little gem
A new self-healing cutting mat? Nooo! I used to be able to tell roughly how old a video was by the condition of its battlescars. Now you've gone and destroyed all that precious chronological metadata. You fool. Hopefully her time away from the main bench lets her plastic nanites work their magic and in a few months we'll see her back in competition form.
When I read your post, I said to myself "Self, he has a hydrostatic motor or fixed volume pump with over pressure release." All you need is a variable swash plate pump to make it go backwards or forward in infinite increments. Check out the hydrostatic Eaton units on things like smaller Toro front deck riding mower, self propelled concrete saws, and even the lowly MTD brands of hydrostatic transaxles (Eaton hydrostatic units). Lots of fun to play with and many shop uses. I used them for riding mower racing (hint, if you stress them like I did, sinister 10w40).
I had a summer job building axles for mobile homes and travel trailers. They modified the assembly line to weld the spindles onto the axles rather than having pre-built axles. Brilliantly, they didn't allow space or time for the axles to cool before assembly. We got pretty good at spitting on the axles to tell how hot they were so we could guess how much to preload the wheel bearings. By the time they got past the leaf spring assembly station, they had cooled enough to be inspected.
For a bit of history, the reason these motors are made in Sweden is because this motor style was invented by Volvo and were bought by Parker. They have been the best motor in the industry for years. These motors are one of the few things that Parker has bought and just left alone because anything they changed would just screw it up.
Does your shop look like the rest of your bench? My shop and bench are a clutter disaster. My wife wants me to clean it up. I told her I was waiting for the appraiser so I could stick a 2 million dollar price tag on it and sell it as modern art.
I'm from Sweden and as soon as you popped that open i recognized the parts. I used to harden those. They are plasma nitrated.
Leakage is cooling, gotcha, it's like I say with my old volvo wheel loader from -79, if it's leaking oil, it's got oil.
Ah yes! Another AvE vijeo! Dear Bumblefuck, I leave you with a thoughtful poem..

New mat = another foundry vijayo
This is the coolest piece of gear you've disassembled ever. Thumbs up!

I've seen that piston motor 1st time in my life. And I've lived without that knowledge for 45 years. Pity me.
That clean mat is hurting my eyes! Spill some schmoo on it right quick before bad karma finds you... Too late, breaker blew.

"Never force it, just find a bigger hammer" lol!
Good job old mat. You walked the path and passed the trial. You enjoy your retirement on the other bench.

"That's quite a small shaft" If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that.

A lot of the stuff in the video goes over my head but I so enjoy the process and narration and usually end up learning a thing or two. :)
