    4:35 "a bit primitive" is the design philosophy that guarantees that your dyno still works at age 50!!

    I cannot even begin to tell you how fast I would make very expensive mistakes with that machine 😂

    In the mid 1970's I worked for a Cat (Towmotor) materials handling company repairing forklifts including hydrostatic transmissions. I had a van with a 4 cylinder forklift motor mounted on a bench to provide power to the transmissions so I could bench test them inside my truck! The bench even had a disc brake to attach to the transmission output so I could stall it out and set the relief valves.
  • To me, Cat equipment is pretty much TONKA MAXIMIZED. So, to see this and all your videos is a great info/learning experience. Been in home building, seeing graders, dozens, etc, working near or on jobsites it's good to find out just how these marvels actually work. Thanks for your work, the videos, and Casey for introducing me to your channel.

    Interesting - I've seen Dyno's but never got to actually watch one being started up and the systems engaged - thank you!!
  • Just stumbled on this channel and absolutely love the content. Thanks for sharing.
  • A full test would include not only a no load test but a full load test, would it not.

    Have spent many hours testing many CAT transmissions and pumps over 15 years ago. It was a job I did enjoy and learned a lot from. Even then we had data loggers to watch pressures. Really helped to learn and see how those valves really worked.

    Very interesting look at some “Inside baseball” stuff. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

    Old but precise! Very interesting. Thanks for showing us the Dino.

    Are we going to see one of these transmissions being rebuilt? Now that I’d love to watch!
  • Love the show .30 years being heavy equipment tech..your buddy was way to close to that granny .chains break .he would never be able to get out of the way in time ..I'm not the safety police but seen it happen not pretty..stay safe cheers
