L275DT - new loader power beyond question

[TheOldHokie]

Thanks, Dan. Purchased.

I have another question. Does anyone know the thread size and pattern of the rear axle housing plug I'm pointing at in the previous picture. My guess is that it's a 3/8-19 bspp, but am wondering if it might be ORB. Does anyone know for certain?

I would confidently wager its BSPP but no need to guess. Pull the plug and measure the OD of the thread. The OD of a 3/8 BSPP thread is .656 and easily distinguished from any SAE thread.

As I stated in post #5 it is BSPP and 3/8 (on my L185) so I am 99.9% sure you’s is the same

Ok, I’ve got all my parts in and just need to confirm one thing. On the Hydraulic block to the left side of the seat, my assumption is the port to the rear of the tractor is coming from the hyd. Pump and the port to the front of the tractor connects to the power beyond on the fel valve. Can anyone help me confirm flow direction in the hydraulic block?

Looking at the manual, I think I may have that backwards and just want to confirm…

The diagram is quite clear:

Thanks for confirming, Dan. And yes, the diagram is quite clear. My assumptions were based on how I interpreted other posts on the forum, but then I found the diagram which was opposite my assumptions. I just wanted to confirm that this diagram is how others have routed their hydraulics.

I’m here to report, everything operated well when hooked up!

… with the exception of a pinhole in one hose and two heavily leaking cylinders.

Part 2-cylinder rebuild…coming soon
