Keepin' Migraine Happy

This grille look a little better now? :>)

Allan

You and I are playin' from the same script.

It's amazing how much better it works when the farm covers the "back door". :>)

Have a good one, Howard.

Allan

It sure acts like it is thrown' oil at the servos. I dunno, I haven't even looked at it yet.

I just think it is a leak somewhere, 'cause the old gal will just dig like anything in reverse.

Throw it forward and it "starts" to act right, but then peters out when the load hits it. If there is just a light load on the tractor, it seems to do okay.

Dunno,

Allan

Looks great, and what did you say that thing set you back??

Did your hydro give trouble like the Cowmans, or did it work fine being inside of that 72 degree shop?? My 856 hydraulics have been howling bad in the cold weather in Sw IA -12 Wed morn. Unheated machine shed

Really ashamed to tell ya. :>( The backing screen was $175; the grille was $226 and came painted glossy black and made of pot metal!

I’ve got a leak in that hydro somewhere. Been fixin’ lights, remote hydraulics and so forth and then I’m gonna tear into ‘er .

Digs like a badger in reverse both hi and low; under load will just set there and spin the tires. But it is droppin’ out on me in forward and feels like a slippin’ automatic tranny. Will still pull okay, but if I go full stick, then feels like it is slippin’. Pull it back halfway, seems to be fine again.

Something is just getting away on the forward hi pressure. Hope it is that metal line just inside the case??? Maybe the servo motor?

Also, there is an oil leak at the foot-n-inch valve hydraulic line right where it comes up outta the case. Gotta fix that too; maybe the two problems are related, I dunno.

Sure is fun tinkerin’ on the old sow, tho. :>)
