terramite t5c hydraulic pump manufacturer

We worked with Representatives from Exxon from our local petroleum distributor. The reason 15w40 is recommended is because it is formulated to not break down under extreme temperature & pressures & it contains the anti wear additives required to protect the hydrostatic components. The hydrostatic can see pressures up to 5k psi.. Anti wear hydraulic fluid does have some protective qualities but will break down under extreme heat & pressure conditions. We ran tests to make this determination. Also we tested different filtration ratings and determined that a 10 micron filter will give adequate protection at an affordable cost. If you want to go with a filter that gives the most protection go with a 3 micron rated filter however it will have a premium price tag. For example, our filter testing involved a Donaldson 3 micron filter assembly we retrofitted to a brand new company vehicle engine. After close to 100k miles the engine was disassembled for inspection. The wearing parts showed nearly zero wear. We used Mobil 1 engine oil & changed oil & filter every 5k miles.

When the Donaldson filtration system was used to protect the Vickers TA-15 hydrostatic transmission equipped with the Vickers V-10 auxiliary vane pump it cut down on catastrophic failures for those units. The Vickers system was very unforgiving using the 10 micron filtration & the 3 micron did the trick. On the later units using Cessna/Eaton hydrostats the 10 micron system was sufficient. They would perform well & had good success because they would tolerate the environment since they had auxiliary gear pumps which would operate in the less filtrated system. I hope this sufficiently answered your initial question.”

Many folks have found they can use truck tires for the back tire of T5C, T6, T7 & T9. Most Terramite’s have a 5 bolt (5.5″ bolt spacing, 5×5.5) with an 87mm hub bore. Ford F-150’s produced from 1960′ through 1996′, BRONCO 1966 and later and the Ford E-SERIES/E-150 1992′ through 2006′ also had this rim size. Use this GUIDE to see full rim options.

In the past 3 months we have had calls from 5 different people who had loaned their machines to friends who just had to top up the hydraulic tank with Hydraulic oil before they returned the machine.

We can supply many pumps and drive motors. Get us as much information as you can from your old one, numbers etc.: as there were several different makes and models used over the years.

TERRAMITE was founded in 1965 by Kelly G. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham used a Gravely 7.6 tractor to power his patented backhoe, creating the Model 1, the world"s first compact backhoe. Between 1965 and 1972, the Model 1 was produced, and a new Model T-2 with an end-loading attachment was introduced.

The T-3, T3-15, T4, T5, T5B and T5C continue to improve in safety, durability, strength, load-carrying capacity and digging depth. In 1997, TERRAMITE introduced the T6, the largest and most powerful compact tractor loader backhoe ever built.

1999 was also the year TERRAMITE introduced new products such as the compact tractor loader backhoe series T5D, mini excavators TX15 and TX25, and sweepers TSS36 and TSS38. In June 2000, the T5D and T6 models were renamed the T7 and Model T9.

A&S Hydraulic can provide you with a broad series of Hydraulic Parts at the most competitive price, such as TERRAMITE Excavator Main Pump, TERRAMITE Excavator Gear Pump, TERRAMITE Excavator Vane Pump, TERRAMITE Excavator Plunger Pump, and TERRAMITE Excavator Hydraulic Cylinder. Besides, there are many world-famous industrial brands to choose from.

The piston cylinder seals in every cylinder were falling apart so badly, that plastic crumbles were mixed in with the hydraulic motor oil . The hydraulic pump still seems to work though and I hope that the eroding seal material has not caused damage to the hydraulic pump.

The cup seals that go on the inside of the hydraulic cylinder and on the piston were so badly destroyed that several of them were not even in 1 piece anymore and they looked like crushed oreo cookies . In fact, on the inside of those cup piston seals, is another rubber O ring and you could actually see that internal O ring ...thats how badly eroded the 2 piston seals were in each cylinder.

One of the cylinders that had been rebuilt by the guy I bought it from had developed hydrolock and would not move at all . When I took it apart, I could see that the guy had put new seals in it, but the reason it was locking up was because 1 of the O ring seals that had previously been exposed from the inside of the badly worn piston seals , had broken in half and gotten jammed inside the hydraulic hose to the boom lift cylinder and it blocked any hydraulic fluid from entering that cylinder. This caused the boom up/down to lock in 1 position and not move at all.

Im just hoping that the plastic/nylon debris from all the crumbling piston seals in the hydraulic cylinders has not caused extensive damage to the hydraulic pump. I would guess since the eroded piston seal debris is not hard material { like dirt,stones, metal, etc} that damage to the pump from that softer material would be minimal ?

This machine had me confused, because it has the forward/reverse hydraulic pedal on the left hand side, instead of the right side. I spoke with Terramite and they told me that this machine must have been a special order for someone who had a missing right leg or stroke that caused them to only be able to use their left leg.

The machine is powered by a Kohler Command 20 hp engine that drives a hydraulic pump. �It has a hydrostatic transmission with one pedal that controls both forward and reverse,� says Goodman.

The hydraulic hoses were in good shape, but Goodman had to replace two couplers that were leaking a bit. He also replaced the front bearings, races and seals. �It looked like someone had used an impact driver on them,� he says.
