Last week I started to disassemble some hydraulic components on the bench. Last time I was required to go through a valve body was on the back deck of a 32 foot fishing boat in four foot seas so this time it was a little more enjoyable and I was able to soak things up more thoroughly. The complexity of the internals of the hydraulic components have always amazed me. I learned how to adjust cushion on hydraulic cylinders through the test bench exercises. I have learned quite a bit through the bench including setting up hydraulic systems from a schematic. My VW project at home made great progress this last week. I was able to utilize the fabrication equipment at school to make a couple brackets and adapter plates.
