Why Hydraulic Throw-Out Bearings?

[RICK LAKE]

David Kirham Yes those black bears are alot of fun. Played with some at space farms back in the 70's. Couple of 70 pound cubs that the mother was killed by auto. No front claws but they would knock the crap out of you at this small size. MY dumb state people have brought them back into NJ. We already have a Major deer problem. Now the beers are moving into towns. There have been some attacks of pets and pets driving off bears but the day is coming when a children is going to get killed and all hell so going to break loose to this dumb idea. We kill about 200 bears a year during hunting season now. Any way Had a question about failures on the TOB and fluid. Did you try hydrolic fluid from contruction machinery? My thinking is that there are sealings in the pistons, slide up and down thousand of times, and last for years with no leaks if kept clean from dirt? I have been using the ERA system for 10+ years and have not changed the fluid in the Clutch system. I have no leaks to date. The only dumb thing "I" did was install a piece of rubber high pressure hydro line between the fluid reservoir and line going to the master of the clutch. No leaks, I do check the fluid for color and water moisture. Still passed the tests. This also supplys fluid to the brakes. Being a slow driver and not pounding the brakes and cooking them may be the reason for the fluid to be OK. It should get changed about every other year. When you have everything working OK, you hate to mess with anything. Rick L
