Discussion:
Side Shift slow to one side ?

Hello all, Been a couple good months around here with no problems. Got hired on full time so I am no longer a temp.

So our Toyota 15-32 model which we got fixed with help from the site has another little problem. Nothing is in the Book I received for download, !!!!"THANK YOU"!!!! has nothing in it about the side shift. Notta one little thing. It moves to one side slowly, the other way seems to work well. I am guessing a bad seal inside is allowing it to bypass. I will be looking at any numbers I can get off of it today and purchase a new one inside of 72 hours. Any ideas ? Looks like it could used cleaned up a little before I go working on it..

This is one of those situations where they have "NO" parts for this truck, never have and are just now developing maintenance. SO whatever I buy is good for the shelf. Even if I buy the whole assembly, the old one will get rebuilt, tagged and shelved for the time until I or the next guy uses it.

Take care and how about BOISE !

Yup, and the first game of the season is tonight and I already told my boss I won't be in tomorrow!

Side shift cylinders are usually fairly cheap and a pain in the a$$ to rebuild. The valve bodies are pretty easy to rebuild. Just order the right seal kit.

Ain't nothing I can't fix but a broken heart and the break of day!
THanks Joe,
Saints fan... Well you got your Super Bowl. I think they will have another good year. It is strange, the feeling after winning something like that as a fan. What Now ? Is the feeling, where do we go from here...

Thanks for the input. I already have it apart and will buy a new one if they have it on the shelf and it is cheap enough. If it is a valve problem I will be handing it off to them anyway, Toyota that is... I am so short on proper Hyd. fittings, parts, etc. at this plant. Just not set up for Truck maint.

If you swap you lines does the problem move to the other direction? If you disconnect the lines and remove the cyl. and try shifting the carriage manually with a pry bar does it bind up in one direction? With lines disconnected, plug one line and hook up a pressure gauge to the other. Check your readings both directions/both lines and are they the same? If so then you have a bad cyl. If the readings are differnt and there is no binding in the carriage you have a valve problem.

There has to be someone out here that knows about these side shifts. I guess it must be one that stumps all. I pulled the carriage apart a little and the cyl has no identifycation. Very Generic looking cyl. with stoke on either end, no serial numbers, no info in the catalog that goes with the book.
