Hopefully Simple Fix

Some people use it in hyd return line which might have some pressure, but not much. All return lines should be open to tank.

The galvanizing can also flake off and jam hyd parts.

Forged steel apparently has a high pressure rating.

I don't know if there is a good answer except not to use it.

In your 1st picture, what is that little hand telling you? That block seems to me is high pressure in and out of it.

The hand symbol appears to point to the manual. Otherwise telling the operator to read something about that hyd block.

I would also add that the lines with water pipe fittings are probably the return lines especially using multiple connections. You don't tee pressure lines.

There are lots of things that one can do if one knows the hyd system.

I wonder if he ever found the screw slot.?

On the back side of the hydraulic block there is two pins which indicate there is another position that might redirect. It is very hard to see. You have to crawl under the tractor and it is still hard to see as it is close to the engine block, but upon turning to the other position I now have lift to the rear. If I had a manual it probably would have told me this. Thanks to all who responded. Everyone helped get this problem solved. Seems I keep having the same problem, I'm too narrow between the ears. Thanks again

New to the forum but have been reading on here along time. I have a Ford 1210 4x4 with FEL. When I take the FEL off the three point hitch hydraulics do not work. Put FEL back on everything goes back to working fine. I have looked for a lever to redirect hydraulic flow. I have checked fluid levels. I have come to a dead end. Any suggestions? Thanks

Seems that removing the FEL interrupts the fluid flow, probably a Power beyond connection to the 3 PT. Time to get some manuals on your tractor and quit guessing. My BX has the FEL valve permanent on the tractor so the flow is not interrupted as the valve continues the PB circuit. Unless a major change has been done to the hydraulics the Owners manual may give you a clue. You may need the shop service manual to trace out the system. Maybe someone on here has the same tractor and can look it up.

He got it figured out in post 15
