Hey, let me know if you need more.

I have a leaky seal. Hopefully tomorrow my seal kit will be here.

Thanks for the pics!. In the 2nd one, I assume the hose goes out to the FEL valve's In port (pressure) and in the 3rd one, one side of the QC is the hose shown in the 1st pic and the other goes to the loader valve return.

Is that correct?

That seems to be correct.

I'm pretty sure on the 1260 you didn't use the aluminum manifold block. The hose that went from the manifold to the 3pt just got the connections changed to fit the loader. Either way, that "T" has got to go.

The feed to the loader came from the connection closest to the front of the tractor and the return went to the hose going to the 3pt. If a Power beyond was used, there was a direct to sump plumbed in the side of the transmission housing.

Do you mean the connection on the manifold block or is there another pressure connection somewhere?

I can snap some more photos if you need. Mine works the way it should and i have a 1250. So the only difference is the turbo I believe?

The 1260 came standard with draft control (which is one of the pieces to this puzzle) while it was an option on the 1250 (one other difference is the 1260 has an oil cooler). If your three point control was just one lever, you don't have DC.

Thanks for the pictures, I have enough for now. I'm trying to find out now what the deal is with the two port manifold block which doesn't seem to be in any of the AGCO parts books for the 1260. I'm thinking it came off another tractor (prolly the one the loader was originally on) and the previous owner pressed it into service, but that's just a guess.

The connection where your "T" is now would be the feed to the 3pt. If you seperate that, rmove the"T" and run it into the loader first, then to the 3pt, that would be how it would have been plumbed originally.
