If thats the case the main system relief becomes a potential point of failure.
I'm sure. There is an access panel below the seat. Unfortunately, the drop speed control shaft goes through it, so removing it can be tricky if the knob doesn't want to come off.
One final thought. Sitting in the seat, at your left heal is an access to a valve that adjusts the hyd flow to the loader and PB. I accidently moved that valved that impacted my loader and PB. You might check it to see if it got moved.
I meant on the requested and any future hydraulic pressure tests you do, please post a picture of the gauge position. That way there is less problem understanding your results.
I just did the PB pressure with it capped off, which is low. Forgive my lack of konwledge on this, but that would cut this relief valve out of the picture wouldn't it?
Are you talking about the relief valve that PoTreeBoy was referring to in the post above yours, or a different one? When I am sitting on my tractor the only thing I see at my left heel is the front wheel drive shifter. As I said I am new to this tractor, I have no clue where everything is. Thanks.
Sorry, I am not near my tractor and cannot give you a good description. But years ago I had to replace the corroded metal delivery lines that go from the front top of the tranny area (under the seat) to the loader. I had to remove the face plate where the 3 pt control rod goes through to disconnect them. There is a valve that you can control with a screw driver blade that controls the hyd flow to the loader/PB. I inadvertedly moved that valve, which affected the flow to the loader. I was thinking there is an open access port to that valve without taking the face plate off, but could be wrong.
No, the relief valve is upstream of the loader valve. I think the best thing now is to remove and look at the relief valve. See post 42, but you just checked the pressure another way, so no need to do that part. BTW, what pressure did you read? Im not sure how the knob comes off that you need to remove that access panel. I'll try to find out.
That valve is behind the same cover as the relief valve. You can check that the slot is horizontal, but if it was 180° off, you wouldn't get any pressure at the loader valve.
Alright well that gives me some things to look at. I will be traveling until Friday, so I wont be able to get too deep into it until the weekend. Thanks everyone for the direction. Hopefully will get this thing going one piece at a time. in the meantime here is the schematic for the hydraulics for anyone interested. The relief valve is exactly like PoTreeBoy said.
Figured I would at least take the panel off and see if I could see that valve and if it was turned. Well looks like nobody has been in this compartment since 2001. Gave'r a good powerwash and now I can see whats what, but I still dont recognize that other valve that @12251hd was talking about. Maybe this model didn't have one? If someone see's it in the pic can you point it out to me? TY. I see the relief, but I'll wait until I get back so everything is good and dry before I take that apart. Any tricks/pointers on disassembly cleaning and reassembly that I should know about?
That directional valve is circled in green.
huh thats a valve?? Ok will check on that one. First things first.....
