PlowSite Homepage Upgrade
Hello again PlowSite community,
I wanted to post a quick note to let you know that the homepage of PlowSite will experience a major upgrade next week. We’re always looking for ways to improve our users’ experience on the site, and felt that this upgrade was needed and long overdue.
With this upgrade, you’ll now see the top trending posts as soon as you visit PlowSite, and these will be updated throughout the day. You can also easily access videos and photos. As always, we encourage you to include videos and photos in your own posts to share with your fellow PlowSite users.
Be assured that all of the forums, content and data that you’ve been accustomed to will remain intact, as will all current site features. You’ll also be able to easily access the full list of forums directly from our new homepage.
We’re excited to bring you this change, and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Thanks, PlowSite Team

Filter
Bearing in mind that I am not a hydraulics or Meyer expert, I don't believe the filter has anything to do with hydraulic pressure but I would be concerned about possible damage to the hydraulic circuit (in the event of anything going wrong within the system and sending metal fragments through the passages) if the filter was left out.

Same here... I'm not an expert. BUT... I would leave the filter in there. The one time you pull it out, and it's dirty, or has a big chunk of whatchmacallit in there, you'll be thankful you've got it.

I would not remove any filters at any time on anything,thats asking for trouble.Im pretty sure the fluid is filtered on its return side,which would not affect pressure.Im thinking your pump may be getting weak.They really arent that expensive.Check with Mill Supply or Angelos for pump only,not the whole unit.Make sure your motor is turning full RPM also for this would affect pump speed which would affect pressure.I have four E47s Im running ,one of them is slower than the other three but so far its still going strong.Good Luck

bob, you might be able to find a new plug at the hardware store,or figure out a way to rethread a larger fitting, but keep the filter at all cost...

Filter
Thanks guys,I think I will try tapping the hole and inserting the filter in a hole I will drill in the new boltw/press.Before I pay to have the new base I ordered from Angelos installed.It may work and be a whole lot cheaper. Let me know if you think it will work , please

Uncle Bob, in your post you mentioned drilling out the new bolt to accept the filter. I was just wondering if you meant "plug" when you wrote "bolt", due to the threads on a bolt being different from the tapered pipe threads on a plug. I think your idea will work as long as you're careful to set everything up good and square when you drill the hole.
