  • Your letter stated about a 3 pt. hitch single acting cylender I have a 35 massyfergson and i would like information on having a single action cylender for the top link to operate a rear scoop. some say a single action cylender. but what kind of valve is needed to operate this. I would appreciate any info on this subject.

  • Curtis, Thanks for the follow-up article and addressing my previous question. The solution to my problem was simple. I disassembled the piston and found there was NO seal/seals That was letting the oil pass into the "front chamber" there-by in effect locking the piston against movement.A trip to the JD dealer for new seals and now it works great. Thanks, Tim Wheaton

  • Outstanding. Please point out correct proceedures to test hyd systems without opening hyd systems to atmosphere. Also how to take apart without using compressed air. Safety first. This is a very informative article

  • One basic subject that was not covered is the difference between welded and tie rod cylinders, and their applications. It's basic, but that is usually one of the things I look at when thumbing through a hydraulics catalog.

    Gerald Ackerman, Sr. wrote on Monday, November 08, 2010 (PST):
  • A general comment that I have for the articles I've read to date is that more diagrams should be included to go along with the verbage of the articles. It would help the novice to better understand how to perform the task being described.
