whaley96raw Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Somehow lost the cap for the hydraulic reservoir for my leveling system. Any ideas where to find a replacement? whaley 96raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdinsmore Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Have no idea, but in the meantime it's very important to not get any dust/dirt in the reservoir, so I suggest temporarily covering the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikadoo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I would think it’s the same as a vent cap on a hydraulic hoist in a mechanics shop. You could use a piece of pvc pipe with a cap on the end, however you will need to drill some holes in the pipe to allow the tank to breath, then wrap the pipe where the holes are with a mesh material like steel wool an zip tie them in place. That will get you thru untill you can get a regular breather cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr046 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Steel wool? I'd take some foam, soak in oil (any oil at this point), squeeze out the oil and seal the holes with that. Steel wool isn't much of a filter and risk of getting steel particle a in the hydraulic oil is more risk than I'd take on. - bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikadoo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Well personally i would use some pieces of cut up panty hose… however my bride quit using that stuff in the mid 90’s and frankly i no longer see the big displays in the stores anymore.
