Thanks for weighing in...but I have some info for ya...I can't find the sump plug and spring causa it wasn't there. The prev owner had placed a steel plug in their...apparently after market...so I don't think I'm over my head (yet)...I had to drill a hole in the cylindrical plug and then put a screw in their and then pull it out. Then went to Case IH and bought the plug and spring.
As far as pressure - your right - I cant' measure exact pressure and not made of cash so I can't really go spend the 250.00 to 500.00 to get a guage capable of measuring 1900 psi...
But I can use my noggen and use the pressure guage that is there - as well as loosen the pressure plug test port and start the tractor and see if it squirts hyd fluid...and it does not - infact I can freely turn that plug at full throttle - You saw I removed the flow control valve by starting the engine and it spit out the valve.
So I don't really need any expensive equipment to know I have flow and no pressure...I got frothy tans fluid because the damn starter broke the same day the steering did - and now i can start the tractor to warm up the fluid vs draining it cold...which is how I knew it was full a air... so I got it all drained out and have napa premium ready to go back in.
As far as the mcv - i've got all the orings replaced - all new gaskets on all the layers and all springs except the two that require I remove pins - I tried but they didn't wanna come out easy so I left em - best I could do...I did check them and move them w a screw driver to see if I could hear if they were broke - and they were not.
I live in NW MO (64458) and just dropped 6500 into repairs on a JD 2555 and if I have to drive this to a tractor repair, well....I'll sell it first...I don't have the cash to keep spewing - I've dumped a boatload into equipment this year in repairs...probably close to 15K...
If we are beyond the simple fix possibilities - would just like to know...any thing simple comes to mind - would like to know that too...
Case does a really weak job on their shop drawings and even their online breakaway parts list is deficient in any sort of detail...
Anyhow thanks for weighing in but really...the plug wasn't there and now you know there is an aftermarket plug available...
