460 hydraulic controls

GWMiller · Dec 23, 2010

This may seem like a dumb question but I"m new to red equipment. On my 460 there are 3 hydraulic levers on the right side. The two nearest the hood are identical and I assume run 2 different hydraulic circuits. The outside control is similarly shaped but runs on a track that has stop screws. I would assume that this outside handle would run the 2-point the think is that my 460 doesn"t have a 2 point. So if so what is this oddly shaped ouside lever for?

Thanks

At sometime your tractor must have had a two point and someone removed it, some tractors had the control you have others had a lever like the other 2 at the left, makes me remember 50 years ago when a 460 was one of my main tractors

That isn"t a dumb ?
You"re new "to red equipment" Welcome to a resource that I"m sure you will find enjoyable and informative. The archives hold a wealth of information; the photo section can be of value and post ?"s; copy or buy literature and enjoy. You have been bit by the red iron disease. I have IH tractors with the 40/60 series tractors being my favorites. If you don"t have a fast-hitch or also called the two-point system it is possible someone installed the three lever "hydra-touch" handles due to some damage/malfunction prior to you getting the tractor. Yup, the two inner levers control the flow of hydraulic fluid for what should be a two circuit system. i.e. implements at the rear or a loader that has a hydraulic bucket. The far right control would be used to raise/lower the fast-hitch yolk thus raising implements or the drawbar. Is it a Farmall with narrow front end = rowcrop or wide front or the International utility model? Enjoy your tractor.
