    C4864 Steering Cylinder replacement

    We finally had to saw through the clevis pin to remove the old cylinder from the bracket, but once that was done the new hydraulic cylinder was easy to install. From all the cussing we did I'm not sure it was a labor of love.

    C4864 Brake repair or adjustment

    The brakes on our C4864 will not hold on an incline. We've been told that they are wet brakes. Has anyone had an opportunity to work on them or point us in the right direction?

    C4864 Steering Cylinder replacement

    Anyone had to remove and replace the power steering cylinder on a Montana C4864 tractor. We purchased an OEM cylinder from UTB. We disconnected the cylinder at the wheel but cannot see how to disconnect the end connected at the block.

    Everything worked great today with the sprayer over a 3 acre pasture. Now I'm wondering did I really needed to buy and replace that $500 hydraulic pump. I filled the old one with oil and capped it. It might come in handy at some time.

    Good point, I rinsed it off yesterday after spreading the fertilizer and will pressure wash it after I finish my spraying. I don't know why the 3 point started working after opening that plug. I see it in the service manual but there is no reference to it's purpose there or in the operator's...

    There's a plug on the top of the 3 point unit. I opened it and the 3 point is working. I'm investigating what that is and what, if anything, should go in it, lubricating or hydraulic wise.

    I normally keep it in the middle but with the current situation I have it all the way open.

    I was able to fertilize two pastures today with the 3 point in the up position. I will be spraying for weeds tomorrow, but won't be able to use the rake in the lower position. Should I reinsert the plug I removed to see if the 3 point will lower?

    I actually stood on it with the lever down and it wouldn't budge. It seems locked in the up position.

    I'll do that. See my comment above.

    Thank you everyone for your research and input. I removed the cap today and found a plug in the port. I removed it, replaced the cap and the 3 point went up. My elation was short-lived since now the 3 point will not go down. Any thoughts?

    It's been a while, but I think I can manage.

    Sure, but TractorByNet won't let me attach here, says too large of file. Any suggestions on how to get it to the group.
