I have replaced hoses on a no till drill. The raise and lower cylinders are installed in series. The cylinders are rephasing type, one with a 3.25 inch bore, and one with a 3 inch bore. The cylinders are mounted vertically, and I did lose a little fluid out of the lower fittings when I removed them. The drill has stops on the cylinders to keep the rods extended when not connected to the tractor etc.
The first cylinder (the raise side of the circuit) operated fine and the stop was easily removed. The other cylinder did not move off the stop, or at all when the raise function was tried.
My first thought is that there is no oil in the bottom of the first cylinder to move between the cylinders. It is my understanding that a rephasing cylinder has a means for fluid to pass through the cylinder (an orifice) that is actuated by full extension or retraction of the cylinder. I could manually remove the other stop and let the drill down if need be.
Any ideas on how to get the circuit flowing would be appreciated.
I tried to attach the diagram from AGCO but didn't have any luck.
Thanks
