    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    The Readers Digest version: With your current setup the C and T ports are interconnected and they are powering a downstream device - the 3pt The T core in the valve is not designed to handle pressures greater than 500-800 PSI and its also the backside of the inlet pressure relief so the...

    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    Half inch JIC is 3/4-16 UNF thread. Even with a totally blown piston seal the thumb cylinder should produce something around 1500 pounds of extend force. Dan

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    It works but Prince would tell you its incorrect. I will forgo the long explantion of why for now. The correct way is to remove the plug in the "C" port and install the optional power beyond sleeve. Then move the hose currently connected to "T" to that sleeve. Lastly run a third hose from the...

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    The correct way to plumb the loader valve is with three hoses - the two high pressure lines you have and a separate low/no pressure tank return which on your tractor would go to the cap on thev hydrsulic filler.

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    Thats a DIY plumbing job. You can route NEW hoses of the proper length anyway you want. You seem to be using tank as power beyond. Might want to consuder fixing that. Dan

    Chain hooks

    Dont over think this. If you can weld even remotely well stick some Grade 70 weld on grab hooks to the bucket AND forks. I prefer three as shown below. For a B2601 5/16 (8mm) chain should be all you need. You can turn grab hooks into slip hooks, D rings, or most anything else with a few links...

    How to check if remote is bleeding down

    It does not matter if the tractor is running or not. With the remote valve in neutral the cylinder is held by 1) the seals in the cylinder 2) the spool in the valve. You can eliminate the cylinder by putting an inexpensive ball valve on the rod end hose connection to the cylinder. With the...

    Help Identifying valves

    My confusion here is there is no power beyond just tank. Without the conversion sleeve the power beyond port (N) is just another tank outlet. So you have not actually plugged tank just two of the three tank outlets. Dan

    Help Identifying valves

    I am confused. Did you add a new section to the old valve or a new standalone valve? If a new valve how can you plug tank return and have anything work? Dan

    How to wire a sprayer controller to an accessory plug?

    Without knowing what functions (e.g. model) the "controller" implements this is an utter waste of time. Maybe it controls a pressure regulator and a spray valve. Or maybe it controls two valves. WTFK. Dan

    According to the schematic the 3rd function is fed by the loader valve. It should be seeing the same flow and pressure as the loader. Interesting that it works better wirh the boom spool shifted. That puts it in series with the boom cylinders. Not dure whst to make of that.... Dan

    Ghost in the Machine? BH77

    I dont see anything that would mske me think there is s manufacturing problem. The port relief valves are designed to cushion shocks and unload pressures that can occur in normal usage. They WILL occassionally open and close in most usage. The frequency with which the reliefs operate is...
