Plumbing question NOT O/T

old · Apr 11, 2009

I got a loader in last year some time that had a broken frame. Also at the same time got an H so I pretty much figure it came off the H. So how do I hook up the hyd. lines to the belly pump. I know the power out is easy but what about the return. This is set up with its own valve body so I have to run it so the belly pump runs any time I want to use the loader and have a return line so that the pump will not back pressure on me. So where does the return line go??
Thanks
Oh I will also have to make a set of front mounts for the loader. I had the back one just no front ones but they look like simple angle iron type mounts so thats no big deal

Return can be teed into the filler neck. If it blows out the vent hole, route it to the bottom of the reservoir. I have never done one, but that has been stated on the Farmall forum many times.

The return connects from the "down" side of the cylinders to a tee that replaces the the filler cap. That way the cylinders act as the reservoir, when the loader is lowered the liftall overflows and forces the oil into the cylinder.

The first time you raise it you might need to keep adding oil unless the cylinders are already full.

i have a char-lynn two way valve on my m with the 3 point. pressure out from the belly pump into the spool valve, the return is plumbed into the belly pump drain with a pipe tee. put a close nipple on the center of the tee so it screws into the pump drain, then hook the return line to one side of the tee. put a pipe plug in the other so it is easier to drain the pump if need be. something else that is handy if you want, on the control rod for the pump, instead of just wiring it to the full on position, weld a short piece of 5/16 either a bolt or round stock in the full on position, so it looks like the other stop. that way when you want to pressurize the pump, you pull the rod back and hook it on the notch!! pretty tricky!!!!

I dont know the "right way" but I plummed mine into the filler hole. When I dont need it, I screw the fitting off and put the cap on.

old, if I read you correctly, the loader came with its own valve?

Okay, you run a line from the pressure out on the belly pump to the IN on the valve. From the OUT on the valve, you can either run it to the fill pipe on the reservoir, or to the drain underneath.
