Hi, all, I'm refubing a DoAll G-1 from '46, a machine that had been used little and cleaned... never.
It had an unbelievable amount of crud of all kinds, including gelled hydraulic fluid that had turned to taffy inside the valves, some water, and half a lemon (no kidding). I'll post some pics.
I have done a LOT of cleaning, and after at least 6 gallons of ultrasonic solution, 10 rolls of papertowls, and 16 toothbrushes I'm almost at the "turnaround", and will start reassembly soon.
what I am wondering at the moment is, what micron rating would be suitable for the spin-on filter I'm thinking of adding between the tank take-up and the pump?
any reason not to add one?
the only filter on it was a 60-80 mesh on the uptake in the tank. I know gravity sedimentation was the real method of "purification" originally, but I can't see why this isn't a good idea unless it overloads the motor, but it is 3/4 horse..
