TU1700 - Trailer Tipping Pipe

[Rod in Forfar]

Here are a couple of photos of the unit which came on my G174, the 17 hp model from 1981. While it did not have a visible rear remote, the valves could easily have been routed in that direction.

When I bought it I was told that it had the ability to add a pipe to enable me to tip a trailer. I was told that it was a simply job of undoing a nut on the side under the seat. Adding a pipe and then when I activated the 3 point link arms to move to the top. When they got to the top the oil would then pump through the pipe and tip the trailer.

That is how my Yanmar is set up. I dont know how it plumbed in. Went we went to buy it, we also bought a tipping trailer. We asked the dealer at a rear hydraulic port (just one). To use the trailer, we use the 3pt control, when the 3pt gets to the top, the trailer than starts to raise. To hold it in position, just put the 3pt control back to the neutral position, to lower just use as if lowering the 3pt, the trailer drops, then the 3pt.

I havent had a look at how this is set. It is on a Yanmar F18D. I wont be at the tractor for a couple of weeks, but can have a look when i next am if that helps?

Had a look today, hard to see much as most of the pipework is behind panels. The pipe for for the tipping trailer looks likes its connected just below the knob that controls the speed/locks the 3pt. Dont know if this is any help? Other may be able to tell you what port this has been connected to?
