Hydraulic Tip \'N Tilt - OK, Top \'N Tilt
Decided to start a new thread because the other one got too long. If anyone has read it, and looked at the pictures of the "tip 'n tilt" job I did and intended to try to copy it; WAIT! It looks like the old man goofed again./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif When I finished it, I thought it sounded like a relief valve might be open (only when moving, i.e., HST pedal depressed), but being hard of hearing, wasn't sure, and it's been too wet and cold to use the tractor lately. Today, I got the top link shortened about an inch (wasn't bad as it was, but decided I wanted it to tilt forward a little more and it would tilt back a lot farther than necessary), then I tilled the garden plots. Sure enough, that's a relief valve I hear, and the hydraulic oil got hot. So, I'm waiting for the dealer to call; don't know whether this Tisco valve is NOT an open center valve, or just what the problem is yet, but of course it annoyed me that Tisco sent absolutely no paperwork with the valve and cylinders anyway. I'll let you know when I get a final diagnoses and correction done.
