Paul is doing an excellent job of de-mystifying hydraulics for me. What a great teacher. Clear, concise and easy to understand. Can't wait for the next episode!
Great video. Sessions 1 and 2 helped take me from newb to building a system. I searched plenty and didn't find anything anywhere near as informative as this series. As many other comments already say, it would be fantastic to see sessions 3 and 4.
I think your tutorials are very good. I've never heard a lecturer so clear in the effects of and purpose of each part of a hydraulic system. ( I'm retired and well over 65)
Great teacher! As a plumbing contractor understanding the basics of hydraulics is a time and money saver. Is it simple? fix it. If it is beyond my pay-grade, time to get it to a professional. Thank you.
I've been the trade 34years and learn every job. Love the test table you guys have to show all the components and the workings, I wish there was something like that went I started in the trade, (Had to learn the hard way)
Adam, Paul: thanks for doing this. I'm an old country hydraulics guy, which means my tractor has hydraulics and I don't know squat about the hydraulics. Thanks for doing this, if for nothing else the safety part.
Great video, Great explanations, I appreciate the DCV cut out that shows flow paths. I know it's been a few years but please, please, PLEASE, finish this great series so us young (at heart) can learn and grow from your life experiences.
Excellent video, most informative Adam and Paul. All I ever see are those silver breather caps and I never realised how very useful information about lots of things including oil colour and filter flow.
another common fail on motor/pump assembly is that the splines coupling the motor to the pump wears out causing a flow drop in the system in this particular case both motor and pump should be replaced in pairs... just adding a few cents...great video I am subscribing !!
I'm posting my question in two places, not sure which place will be better, I am unable to find part 3 and 4 of "Hydraulic System Inspection & troubleshooting", I have searched all your videos but haven't found it. Thanks for your help !!!
Operating temperature 🌡️ is difficult to regulate at startup especially if your PTO is outside attached to a cold transmission. Good idea to let everything else reach temperature before engagement of pump. Thanks, great video
Hey Adam. I'm a total noob to this kind of stuff but it's really great to have a baseline education. I imagine myself being 10 years down the road and the lingering memories of these videos saving me a few grand. I'm a Cisco Network Engineer by trade but my backup plan is building physical mechanisms instead of virtual. Keep up with the great material man... I'll be with you every step of the way.
Thank you to Paul for sharing his knowledge with us, it is very kind and generous of you to take your time and energy to teach us. I know that test stand didn't walk to Adam's shop by itself, and I really appreciate you bringing it out to show, and I also enjoyed that failed pump, and can only imagine the things you see that you can't carry around with you! He he, it was fun seeing Adam's hand twitching @ 11:26 as it instinctively wanted to shut the valve and stop the cavitation! It must've been tough to fight all of your years of experience and allow the demo stand to "fail", even if that's what it's set up to do, huh? Glad you both are continuing the series, and again I thank you for the time and effort to produce and edit this series. Aloha...Chuck.
Thank you for another excellent presentation as always Adam. I've watched nearly all of yours and Keith's videos over the last year or so and I'm working my way through Tom's and the rest of the gang's most evenings. You're a modest and humble guy but a big man with a big heart and I probably speak for everyone else in saying that having spent so long with you 'in your shop' I consider you to be a personal friend, even though we'll probably never meet; unless you invite us all over to Florida some day! I got my ABOM79 hoodie shipped here to England a few weeks ago and I look forward to wearing it in the shop in winter. Hopefully I'll start to make my own videos of projects like my GMC Typhoon engine rebuild once the workshop's finished. I'll start a new channel and let you guys know if/when the time comes but don't hold your breath! Got a metric Bridgeport and a couple of old South Bends, (a 9C & a 10L), to restore too like Brad, aka BasementShopGuy, though I doubt I'll make as thorough a job of them. Anyway, I can't wait to hear all about 1500psi oil injection in the next video; sounds like a barrel of laughs! Keep 'em comin' big guy!
Adam, Although I have worked with both linear and rotary hydraulic actuators, this is still informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing. Have a good one! Dave
An excellent presentation, very clear and concise.Please ,am unable to find part 3 and 4 of hydraulic system inspection and troubleshooting , I have searched all your videos but haven't found it . I need your help thanks
I've been working on hydraulics all of my career. Awesome presentation!!! A troop of mine in Afghanistan could have used this info a few years ago. He cavitated the hell out a hydro system by installing a filter without the gasket. Adam
I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting and . . . And, it was worth the wait. So happy you posted this one and I look forward to the next two. My tractor, and cherry picker and front loader and . . . well, they all love this series too.
Jim Milne Thanks Jim. I still have to make the next two but I don't want to put them off very long. I'm hoping Paul can come help me and add some extras in there that we missed.
This is great stuff, a very interesting insight into the world of hydraulics which is an interest of mine. Great time see the real world approach to systems elained. Thanks for posting.
These are great videos and I'm learning a lot from them. Would it be possible to include some talk about the fittings to use, the hoses, common sizes and types, how to choose the sizes to avoid issues in the system? Looking forward to the next two!
note to people here; the foam breathers can catch small particles but they must be maintained properly. Much like many commercial small engines, many breather filters must be lightly oiled with a detergent containing oil in order to work properly.
Awesome vid1 Can't wait for more. We're engineering a new product right now and this gave me a few ideas to throw at the know it alls who still cant iron out random shuddering problems!
I recently watched videos 1 & 2 in the hydraulic series. Great stuff! Will there be a 3rd & 4th video to complete the series? I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Thank a bunch!
i am new to this and studying these videos. so far id say yours are most informative. i do have a question though. if contaminates are the worst thing to happen in a hydraulics system, couldnt you put another filter in the line going from the tank to the motor? just a thought.
The filter that is already in-line with the system is rated to do more than enough filtering to keep the system clean. The problem is that filters can only do so much and there are other forms of contamination that don't get removed by mechanical filters such as moisture. Adding another filter only increases the resistance to flow and creates another service point. If people kept up on their maintenance by regularly changing filters and hydraulic fluid, its less likely you run into an issue with contamination.
Just one correction please. The tiny hole on axial piston pump piston is a "balance hole", it is not for lubrication.... Waiting for session 3 & 4. Thanks.
Ha Adam great video I was wondering when the next lot were coming I really enjoyed the first lot cannot wait for the next lot. This is very interesting stuff and very informative. Dave
fantastic work, this is more than what my school teachers taught me in 3 years, fantastic. keep up the good work. really exited about part 3 and 4 hope you will find the time to put it together soon :)
Hello....... I can't find all the three sessions i.e ; session 1, 3 & 4.... Please help me find it ad also please continue the 3 & 4 sessions... Your videos are more interesting and useful.... Thank you for your videos..
Any expectations of publishing parts 3 & 4 anytime soon? I loved the first two parts, but it is coming up on two years since part two was published. Not trying to push, just asking.
Enjoyed first 2 videos...I have a life changing interview soon and these videos should help. Any idea when the next 2 videos will be uploaded? Thanks for sharing

Its 2024 i just came across these informative videos, what a easy way to explain the system... I've been searching for part 3 and 4 no luck😢
Did sections 3 & 4 ever got published? Really looking forward to see them. Learn a lot with sections 1& 2. Thanks

The wait has been worth it. Looking forward to the next installment.
Looking forward for 3 and 4. Thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate for you showing this video. However, I am waiting for your session 3 & 4.......Thank you and God bless!
I appreciate this,more videos on troubleshooting and system components please, following from South Africa,junior diesel mechanic
Adam,
Although I have worked with both linear and rotary hydraulic actuators, this is still informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good one!
Dave
Love the first two sessions. Cant wait for the other two!
Thanks a lot for your Valuable Session 1&2. Pls upload Session 3 &4 too
Good job guys, great presentation and very informative. look forward to part III
Excellent! I learned a lot! Please talk a little more about the vacuum gauge on the pump intake.
This is probably the longest class I've ever attended.... I've wached part 1 and 2, but waiting for part 3 and 4. :-)
These first two videos were SO good! Is there any chance you'll release even the uneditied footage of sessions 3 and 4 or did they never happen?
An excellent presentation, very clear and concise.Please ,am unable to find part 3 and 4 of hydraulic system inspection and troubleshooting , I have searched all your videos but haven't found it . I need your help thanks
Very informative, really hoping 3 and 4 come along soon.
Great job Paul. Thanks Adam for providing this instruction.
Straight forward and to the point, just like it should be! Great video idea guys, I can't wait for the next 2 sessions
Thanks Adam! This is very informative and I am looking forward for the next installment in this series.
Peace!
Thank you, Paul. I've been looking forward to more of this series. Well done.
Very informative. He's a good teacher.
I've been working on hydraulics all of my career. Awesome presentation!!!
A troop of mine in Afghanistan could have used this info a few years ago. He cavitated the hell out a hydro system by installing a filter without the gasket.

Adam's Brewery and Shop Thanks Adam. Tell you friend to check out the videos.
Im so happy that you are doing this series .
Thanks Dale d
Great vid ,,, 30 years in trade and the first vid I learned a thing or 2 same again today Thanks for posting
That's great! Maybe 3and4 will add some more for ya.
Very nice and instructive lesson. wondering when i can see part three.
Very nice job!
Very informative. I learned a lot. Who knew Adam could do a Vanna White imitation!
Excellent Adam.... much appreciated. I have several hydraulic machines and now must pay much more attention to them..... thanks.....!
Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of your systems and how to troubleshoot them.
i hope you will release the next session soon it is so helpful for us student to understand the system and it is a dangerous system to work with thou.
Great videos. Have looked for sessions 3 & 4. Cant seem to find them. Hope yall are well.
You guys do such a great job. Your training aid is awesome. Thank you for another great video
Awesome video! waiting for session 3 & 4
I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting and . . . And, it was worth the wait. So happy you posted this one and I look forward to the next two. My tractor, and cherry picker and front loader and . . . well, they all love this series too.
Jim Milne Thanks Jim. I still have to make the next two but I don't want to put them off very long. I'm hoping Paul can come help me and add some extras in there that we missed.
Great job guys, looking forward to the next video in this series. Sure beats OSHA ladder training!
Bill De La Vega OSHA want's everything too damn safe, safe enough you can't even get your work done.
Abom79 In the words of Mike Rowe, Safety Third!
Pls upload session 3 and 4

i have my fluid power class final today, thanks for this vid adam.
Hi sir. I'm from Brazil and I'm so excited to see the next videos 3 and 4. please let me know when it will be available.
This is great stuff, a very interesting insight into the world of hydraulics which is an interest of mine. Great time see the real world approach to systems elained. Thanks for posting.
These are great videos and I'm learning a lot from them. Would it be possible to include some talk about the fittings to use, the hoses, common sizes and types, how to choose the sizes to avoid issues in the system? Looking forward to the next two!
Where are the other 2 sessions? The cavitation bit was cool. Thanks!
Session 1& 2 are good basic lesson learning for hydraulic system. I'll continue learning for session 3 and 4 next.
Excellent can't wait for the next one!
madmodifier Me too, and I hope Paul brings along some more examples of freaky failures! :D
note to people here; the foam breathers can catch small particles but they must be maintained properly. Much like many commercial small engines, many breather filters must be lightly oiled with a detergent containing oil in order to work properly.
Just getting into hydraulic.. your video really are great... thank you for putting them up !!..
Awesome vid1 Can't wait for more. We're engineering a new product right now and this gave me a few ideas to throw at the know it alls who still cant iron out random shuddering problems!
You can put the pressure hose in a bucket and time it to get a general idea of flow rate if you dont have flow meters
Dude thank you so much for these videos. Extremely helpful diagnosing my machine
Great info Paul, thanks for hosting Adam :)
Shadon HKW Thanks Stan.
very interesting and great video, please could you send me the link for session 3 & 4 because i look for it and did not find.
Oh man, this is great stuff. Im chomping at the bit for the next one!!
Thank you for this concise and well thought out video.
adam great video looking for part 3 .--bob
Will be here in my seat waiting for the next one. :) Great Video
Yea! I've been waiting for this continuation.
I recently watched videos 1 & 2 in the hydraulic series. Great stuff! Will there be a 3rd & 4th video to complete the series? I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Thank a bunch!
Nice one and look forward to learn more
Whatever happened to session 3 and 4? Really interesting video series 😊 Looking forward to seeing the other last two sessions ^^

i really love this lecture, its practical.
Ha Adam great video I was wondering when the next lot were coming I really enjoyed the first lot cannot wait for the next lot. This is very interesting stuff and very informative.
Dave
Thank you very much, pretty much the best demonstrations I have ever come across.
:)
Thanks. Still working on sessions 3&4.
+Abom79 exactly sir. I searched for no 3 and 4 like a bone sniffing dog.
:D
1 & 2 brilliant, have metal bits in the system caused the delay of 3 & 4 ?
3 and 4? Man so awesome.
Thanks Adam, been waiting... and congrats to the instructor, been learning a good bit ...
fantastic work, this is more than what my school teachers taught me in 3 years, fantastic. keep up the good work. really exited about part 3 and 4 hope you will find the time to put it together soon :)
Thanks a lot for your proffesional lessons! They were very helpfull for me
very good info ,,,, nice class ..
thanks for the video
Richard
thank you very much . very nice work .
bravo
it help me A lot
you are my teacher
Very informative and well presented. Thanks
Nice video and very informative.
3:24 it also can provide protection against rust and oxidation. Hence R&O oil
it helps a lot in my job as injection molding machine technician,,,,
i like your video ....i am also interested in hydraulic ....im am a mechanic i need more knowledge on how to work on hydraulic equipment....
Adam what happened to 3/4 l am a patient guy but 9 year any ideas our a problem with paul great videos just getting into it and the juicey bit
Hello....... I can't find all the three sessions i.e ; session 1, 3 & 4.... Please help me find it ad also please continue the 3 & 4 sessions... Your videos are more interesting and useful.... Thank you for your videos..
Not sure why this channel isn't responding to comments... I like many others am curious about the 3rd & 4th series video
Awesome videos I cannot seem to find 3 and 4 though can you help??
Any expectations of publishing parts 3 & 4 anytime soon? I loved the first two parts, but it is coming up on two years since part two was published. Not trying to push, just asking.
Interesting video, very informative. I really miss 3 and 4!
Come on, you can do it :-)
Great series Adam. A little run-through of the testing bench at work with a big cylinder later perhaps?? ;-)
Colin ;-)
***** I'll see if we can shoot something one day for video purposes. Thanks Colin.
Enjoyed first 2 videos...I have a life changing interview soon and these videos should help. Any idea when the next 2 videos will be uploaded? Thanks for sharing
waiting for session 3
These session have a lot of potential with 3 & 4
Thanks! I learned a lot!
Thanks for the idea u passing please help with session 3&4
