Hydraulics lifter assembly KAMA TS254C

[lakespirit]

Anyone know what the function of the parts numbered 42 to 49 are on page 99 of the parts catalog?

I cannot get my system working and have taken the entire lifter case off and have removed the cylinder and distributir assembly looking for worn or broken parts. So far haven't found anything. How would you go about checking each hydraulic line and cylinder in the system for a clog?

When I traded mine, the manuals went with it. Any chance you can scan a copy of that page and upload it here?

Here it is. Thanks.

That's the draft control feedback linkage

What's it do? How should it be set?

First off it's only used in conjunction with ground engaging implements; like plows, box blades, middle busters, rakes, etc. When the implement wants to dig too deep, it exerts a pull on the toplink bracket. That extra pull on the toplink transfers to the draft control linkage, which in turn raises the rear lift back to operating depth. To the right of the operator seat are two levers. The inside lever you already know raises and lowers the three point hitch. The outside lever allows the operator to set that operating depth. It sets the sensitivity of the draft control linkage, which in turn tells the rear lift to raise the ground engaging implement back to operating depth if/when it starts to dig too deep. When draft control is not required - which is typically most of the time - the outer lever should always be in the full up position.

Learned something new again!

I cannot keep from dumping gallons of hyd oil into the gear box. I replaced the oil seal at the the pump shaft. I have destroyed two of the seals so far. The spring in the seal winds up coming out and winding around the shaft. Whicj direction should the seal face? Should the "u" shaped side be toward the pump or the other way. How many lbs of torque should I use to tighten the bolts that mount the pump to the gear box assembly?

In my experience, one side of that U you describe is a hair taller than the other. I seem to recall that's the side the printing's on too. Unless there are instructions to the contrary, I typically face that side out. Obviously then, the other side faces the grease/oil that you're trying to seal in.

But I don't understand some of your wording. First off, which pump; front or rear? Second, why would you be "dumping gallons of hydraulic oil" into a gear box? Lastly, how did you determine what size replacement seal to purchase in the first place?
