IHC 1206 hydraulics

Trap4570 · Mar 19, 2013

I have this old 1206 that only gets occasional use. I started it the other day intending to use the Koker front end bucket and the hydraulics that control it were dead. I checked the fluid and it is OK. It has always required the lift for the 3 point to be in a certain position before the end loader would work. I"m thinking that there is a leaking valve that is causing this since when I try to raise the bucket the lift arms move a little. It will eventually start to raise but it is very slow and jerky. Any ideas if my assumption is correct and where is this valve located? Thanks.

Oh man, I'm wracking my feeble little brain here and not getting much out of it, but there's a link between the three point depth control linkage and the remotes on a 1086 and the 1086 might be something like the 1206 in that area. On the 1086, when a remote outlet lever is pulled to the stop the three point will go up a little farther when something is worn or out of adjustment in the depth control linkage but I just can't come up with anything else. Sorry. I do remember when I had the V ripper on the 1086 I could get it to raise just a bit more by pulling a remote lever back. Is the three point lever all the way back in the raised position? On the 1086 if it's all the way forward it slows down the depth control and rate of drop but it also slows down all of the hydraulics. Just meandering through my mind here trying to come up with something. Jim

There was a sweet spot in the lift that would allow the front loader to operate. I'll check the linkage. Thanks
