So I mounted the subframe back on the tractor yesterday and put the blower on. Today I connected up the hydraulic lines, they are color coded yet the tractor has white and the blower chute has green (the rest match up). There are 5 hydraulic lines, two from the lift cylinder and three from the chute rotation motor.
When I connect up everything as described everything works fine. However to lift/ lower the blower it's controlled with the side to side motion on the lever. And of course the chute rotates by pushing forward or backward on the lever. I assumed that when the blower is down I should have it in float mode, with the lines set up this way will it float?
So you say just swap the lines. I tried that. If I set it up so pushing forward/ backward lowers and raises the blower it works fine. However the chute will only rotate one direction. When you try to go the other way the lines tense up but no movement. When I swap the two line going to the chute (leaving the other two that raise and lower alone) and it'll rotate that other direction only.
The hydraulic rotation motor has three lines, two that go into block on the front and one that comes out of the back. The one that comes out of he back is colored black and I have it connected to a connector mounted below the four for the FEL and it goes to the bottom of the transmission. I'm assuming it's a return line.
So how should I connect it? Does it need to float, I would think it does with the hills I have? Do I have the lines wrong? Does it sound like something else is wrong? Any advise is helpful.
