Great series of videos, thanks. I copied your installation on my FF15 but made one small change. Instead of splicing into the existing hydraulic lines, I cut the clamp shells off the original fittings and reused them with the new hose. This eliminated the hose splicing. It seems to have worked well. Thanks!
Thanks, I was going for the most economical way to add an oil cooler that I could get to work , IE.. no custom hoses or complex adapters to figure out. I currently have put on about 36 hours of pretty hard work on the machine since adding the cooler with no leaks and the cooler works great . I did end up moving my fan thermal switch to a hotter area near the oil filter to get the fan to turn on faster.
Bro, im glad to have found your channel! I just purchased my KYMRON YH20D. Works great, but I would not mind adding a fan and cooler. Thanks for the videos🫡
Every bit of heat you can remove from the hydraulics and engine help extend the life of the machine, the oil will have more viscosity and the seals will not harden and deteriorate as quickly. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
@madscientisthut Thanks! I've found that Amazon has the Hook Ripper for a good price. Ebay has really good deals as well. For the rust, I found a product called Fluid Film & Fluid Film Black. I sprayed everywhere. Worked like a charm.
I have two plans, the first is to try a cheap fuel pump, hopefully this one works. The second is to try a science trick and use two check valves at each oil port one facing in the other facing out. The cylinder down stroke should create small amount of pressure in the crankcase that will pressurize the the hoses cooler and filter, the check valve the the oil entered should close on the up stroke. The up stroke should create a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase then pull the oil through the other check valve. The only thing with the second method is I am not sure how much pressure differential in the crankcase occurs between up and down stroke, I would need maybe 4-5 psi pulses to operate the check valves and to gain the 14-16 inches of height. Edit: replaced the word cylinder with crankcase and filled in a few missing bits..
The design is minimal, they do work and do do what you need. They are not designed for long work periods as they have neglected to include more heat management, but I think their main goal is to minimize cost.
good idea. i will try your system.

Thank you. That is a good idea, I did not think about cutting the clamp shells.
Great way to show us how to do it, liked.
Full watch and interesting Gary
Thanks for sharing, this is great! I bought an AGT oil cooler but can't find a needed M27 fitting, I'll give your solution a shot.

@@madscientisthut Good to know, thanks for the additional tip about the thermal switch.👍
Excellent video!
@@tomd864 thank you

I was just checking out the yh20d, very nice looking machine with a nice Kubota diesel. Lots of nice upgrades from the 1.2 ton machines!

Great Vid. Engine Oil is not Pressurized in the 13.5hp Briggs, so how do you plan the Engine Oil Cooler?

I was thinking same thing
I went ahead an bit the bullet today and installed the oil pump, see this video : ruclips.net/video/dD-6Zw6_aGc/видео.html
these mods are interesting suggests that the design of this Chinese excavator is not good
