I've got a FEL on my little B7100, it's working great. BUT, my 3 point linkage doesn't.
I pulled the cylinder head off, and all is good in there. I've inspected the 3pl valve, and it seems good as well (it's actually already been replaced by the previous owner trying to solve this same issue - so I have a spare already)
This leaves me questioning whether it's actually seeing any oil pressure at the valve.
Tracking the plumbing back, I find that the line that feeds the valve now comes off of my loader valves, right beside the line that dumps oil back into the transmission case.
So, I'm wondering whether this line is actually hooked up to the low pressure/dump side of the valve assembly, and that's why it's not moving that cylinder. BUT, I have no familiarity with the innards of that valve assembly, so I really don't know.
in this picture, the nearest left hand line goes back to the transmission. The nearest right hand line feeds the 3PL valve. On the far side of this valve assembly is a line coming from the hydraulic pump attached to the engine.
I have no idea what the C and T on the casting refer to in this context either.
Figured I'd ask here before firing it up and loosening that line to see if fluid squirts out of it..
