Designed for the required course on hydraulics found in diesel technology and heavy equipment programs, MOBILE EQUIPMENT HYDRAULICS: A SYSTEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING APPROACH, takes a practical approach to the understanding of fluid power / hydraulic systems. Instead of concentrating on the design issues of fluid power systems this book approaches hydraulics more like a technician would to approach a system that requires maintenance or troubleshooting. Nearly all aspiring diesel technicians receive training in this subject, which is one of seven areas of study recognized by NATEF in diesel technology. Coverage includes a study of terminology, industrial standards, symbols and basic circuitry design as related to fluid power. Examples are drawn from actual equipment that is relevant to the program of study, whether it be heavy truck, earth-moving, or agricultural equipment.
1. An Overview. 2. Building a Basic Cylinder or Hydraulic Motor Circuit. 3. The Math. 4. ANSI Symbols. 5. Oils and Other Hydraulic Fluids. 6. Piping, Tubing and Hoses. 7. Couplers and Fittings. 8. System Design. 9. Electrical Controls. 10. Maintenance. 11. Troubleshooting Fluid Power Systems. 12. Conversions. 13. Hydraulic/Fluid Power Systems.
Author Ben Watson graduated from the Arizona Automotive Institute in 1972 and began a varied career as an automotive and truck technician. In the mid-1980s, he became a contract instructor serving local, state and federal motor vehicle fleet organizations. Starting in 1985 Watson has worked as an independent contract instructor, written a dozen books on automotive technology, held an assistant professorship at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, served as a training manager for two truck companies and still found time to keep abreast of the latest technology and techniques related to repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and their systems. He currently works at Kenworth Truck Company as a service trainer.

book review
By mike
I have been involved with heavy equipment repair for nearly thirty years .I waited nearly two years to get this book . When I received it I was disapointed in it's basic nature not enough coverage on oem specific systems . No real repair information given and no detailed component operation given eg. load sensing pumps . All in all not very good. Back to the work bench with you !!!
