Don't be like me, change your v-drive o-rings...Walter RV-26 rebuild

[Antares]

Hello,
I have a Walter RV-26 V-Drive ,but on my unit someone previously removed (or disangaged) the hydraulic clutch system. Because of that, I now have to engage and disengage the drive manually, and it’s very hard to shift into gear.

Could you please explain how the hydraulic system on the RV-26 normally works?

Does the V-Drive have its own internal hydraulic pump for clutch pressure, or do I need to install an external oil pump?

How is the hydraulic system normally connected (oil lines, valves, control lever)?

What parts would I need to restore the original hydraulic operation?


In short, I’d like to understand how to properly engage the hydraulics again and what exactly provides the hydraulic pressure in this model.

Thank you very much for your help.

wellvrsd I wonder if you might remember after such a long time which bearing spec was which on the parts diagram?
My problem is likely the bearing #15A clicking. Would be grateful for any help, thanks!

Your best bet is to reach out to Walter gear with a screen shot of the part and ask for a part number and a replacement. http://www.waltergear.com/
