Cold weather slow FEL

[mffarmall]

I did the worst thing last year I put butter churn water/fluid into my system and flushed it out. But I used diesel to clean out the system in fact I ran the system for months for light winter work. But it cleaned out everything. Sea foam after a flush and fill is a good choice. I'm still running R&O and I know that many of the guys that have helped me are hitting the keyboard reading this but it worked. But I would not do it for long. It's like running with the safety off.

I guess I could instal tees and keep the females on the remote.

Vally:

this is an OPEN CENTER type system, a T will not work unless you operate both items at the same time and then the pressure will be evenly used and the same pressure to both sides of the T.

most of these tractors are plumed with a quick disconnect about a foot away from the pressure side of the pump. the QD then is snapped together and goes to the FEL high side valve in and out to the FEL QD and into the steering Diverter valve, the out of the steering valve to the rear 3 PT Lift. the first valve takes priority over the rest of the valves as it blocks flow and builds pressure to do work, the pressure returning from the first working valve can be used down stream of the first valve blocking the flow but only a small amount of fluid is going to be moving and only as much fluid as the first valve is displacing.

once the first valve returns to neutral the flow is restored and will go back to the rest of the valves if they are all in neutral then the flow simply circulates from the hyd tank suction to the pump and through every thing and back to the hyd tank.

The problem was the with the remote valve [next to the seat] it is wired back but not far enough. When pulled back farther it works fine. I don't intend to replumb at this time.
