Hi,
I pulled the lift cover on my 1967 165 Massey to put new rings into the lift cylinder. I also added a replacement relief valve in the tractor case. When I put the cylinder on I thought I got the position and draft control lever arms in the correct positions (based on the manual). The cylinder install to the lift cover was easy. Both levers moved stuff around.
Today I got the lift cover back on. I was pretty careful. I went slow.
First I don't have PTO at all. But I bet I don't have the lever arm installed correctly. Least of my problems.
The position control sends the lift arms up but not back down. I hear the engine rpms climb at the top of the travel suggesting that something keeps building pressure in there. Next, if I slide the position lever down and use the draft control, it moves the arms up and down. What?
What I did to recap.
cylinder rings
safety relief valve
I also added an o-ring to the filler cap.
new o-ring between the cylinder and the lift cover.
it is a standard 3 speed low and 3 speed high trans.
I suppose I am going to take that back off and take a look at those lever arms right? Or is there something else going on? would the Pressure relief valve have anything to do with this? Or not getting the side cover on correctly? Wishful thinking.
Anyhow thinks for the input if anyone has anything to offer. I could use some advise.
