Flow is Pump to priorty valve steering has priority after steering is supplied then flows to the loader valve. Loader valve to backhoe valve then to the three point hitch. Flow to loader comes from the pipe under the right floorboard and the power beyond is hooked to the return pipe. If tractor...

While I was working (retired due to medical issues) I used to put loaders on the GC 2300 tractors. Early tractors you took a three bolt cover off the right side of the top cover, Installed a plate with places to put hoses in. One hose went to the loader and the other returned the oil back thru...

Back in '72 I was on roving guard duty at Fort Sill. I hated the 1 hour on and 2 hours off, not my best way to rest. On the second shift while driving a jeep the armed guard and the NCO was asleep and lets just say I found when I woke up the jeep was headed for and partially in a roadside ditch...

You are right to the point draft control responds to the force either applied to the top link as the implement tried to rotate on the lower hitch pins, or by the pull applied to the lower lift links. The second has been used on later tractors and especially on electronic controlled hitches. The...

It is not necessarily the weight that will help the tractor pull the plow.With 111 horsepower you have enough for MOST conditions. Your tractor also uses electronic lower link sensing which can transfer weight to the tractor as it naintains the plow depth. Just like the old mechanical draft...

1. Can you see thru the radiator core? Have had many complaints of overheating to find the core was plugged with dirt and air could not pass through the core. Is the bottom hose cooler than the top? if not the radiator is not doing its job. Also be sure air can freely flow thru all other heat...

The tag mentioned in a previous post will verify but believe it is a model 41 Dyna Balance Mower. Except someone has taken the PTO shaft off and replaced it with a hydraulic motor, and changed the 3 point arm lift to a hydraulic lift cylinder. They also welded the whole frame work on top. Here...

My son calls it Horrible Freight.

1956 dad bought a new JD 70 diesel (about 50 hp) , hitch and 3 bottom plow for $3900. 1967 I started working for $2.35 about $100 a week and after filling the gas tank for a few dollars I had plenty left over. 1972 A new MF 760 diesel, a/c, 14 foot grain table and 6 row corn head $39,000. 1987 A...

Have you engaged the diff lock with one wheel spinning and the other standing still? If so you may have destroyed the diff lock. Diff lock on small tractors is a mechanical positive engagement device. There are either pins the slide into holes or dogs that lock into the differential cage to...

A basic review of hydraulics. 1 a pump moves oil it does not create pressure. 2. a valve controls how oil is directed. 3. In an open center system oil MUST not be stopped. If flow is stopped a big bang will happen wether a hose, pump, drive shaft, or relief valve. 4. The load applied to the...

Check and/or clean all cable connections at batery and the connections where the "other end" of the cables attach. If any isolation mounts are used for the engine be sure there is a good connection between engine and frame, especially if the battery gronds to the frame. If you don't have one...

Yes I know the pulling tractor is the xtreme, but it is an example of what overfueling can do. Some tractors may be able to stand 10% but some cannot without bad things happening. Years ago working for a MF dealer had a customer that purchased a 255 diesel. As with most he did not want to pay...
