I'm preparing to restore and install an e-Bay purchased tilt and trim system on my 50HP. I used to maintain and repair US, Swiss and Japanese printing presses and all of their associated electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical components so I feel I have at least a glimmer of chance to succeed with this rebuilt/install.
I would first like to identify if I really purchased the correct TnT system. The seller assured me this was so. Sigh.:redface:
My motor is a Force, 50hp, model #507Y9B, serial #1561.
I purchased a two wire, non-relayed, external pump, integral trim and separate tilt cylinder system, as is but functioning. The seller listed the unit as coming from a 40hp, year unidentified. He said "We ran this unit and it ran smooth and quite,we saw no leaks,in the rams or fittings. It Easily lifted the motor. The fill plug on the reservoir is stripped so it can leak there without some tread tape, this does not affect usage."
I have restored many damaged threads in castings before and intend to use Loctite 37390 Form-A-Thread stripped thread repair kit as the fill plug is a low pressure fluid fitting.
Picture of unit:
Could someone help me verify that I have the correct unit? (RITT?) and how to identify what the part numbers for the individual sub assemblies are so I can start acquiring the proper seals, o-rings and lubricants prior to disassembling this "puppy".
I have a copy of Apple Rubber Product's "Seal Design Guide" and am familiar with selecting reciprocating seals using standard AS 568A o-rings. As I will be using this motor in fresh water I think that Buna-N or Nitrile o-rings should be acceptable unless someone sees a special requirement for Viton o-rings.
This is my first post after having mined this forum for the last several weeks and I want to compliment the moderators and members for creating such a wonderful and valuable resource.
Thank you - Chris
