Hello all,
I have recently hooked up a FEL onto my Yanmar 1700, all the connection are made and working, although there is a 3rd line I would prefer not to have if not necessary and serves no purpose? I have had the advice of 2 tractor tech people and I need someone to confirm what their advising me to do,
(sorry guys if your reading this) anyway's! the loader has a single joystick control, with a simple inlet and return to reservoir line/hose, 1 person tells me I should use the power beyond adaptor and send the 3rd line back to dump into the reservoir, this 3rd line is quite in the way and I will have to plum out some way to make the connection, for now it is simply sticking into the fill hole,...... now the other person has me removing the "power Beyond" adaptor connecting the return line right into the control valve and removing the long hose coming out of the top side of the control valve and simply capping that connection off .....<----- now to back up a couple weeks ago when I first hooked the FEL up, I had all the connection made and the loader bucket would go up but would not come back down,
a friend of mine that was helping me suggest that I reverse the connections and perhap the bucket should come back down until we could figure out the problem, well when this was done the Pump bust wide open, we figured out right fast this wasn't the right thing to do,... come to find out latter this 3rd line that we assume went to a implemnt that might had been connected to the other tractor 3 pnt lift . this line was capped off and not allowing the fluid to flow back out of the system,....... Now! as I said this line now dumps into the fill hole of the reservoir now and all is working fine, But it would be great if I could eliminate this 3rd line, because it is in my way, and it will cause a problem when " Quick connecting" the loader. it won't be so quick, I have Quick connecting coupler on the fluid lines and it has saddle's for the loader to rest on, about a 3 minute connection, and with this 3rd line makes it about a 10 minute connection..
But on the other hand If it has to be on there then so be it! I certanly dont want to be buying another 300 dollar pump, I've already made 1 mistake I dont need to make another,
Thanks for your input and advice you can provide ...
