Hydraulics

Recommended Posts

I have a 1977 C-160 hydro, hydraulics work sporadically, never know when they will work or not. Changed out trans oil and new filter, I have manuals on Sundstrand transmission, but there is no troubleshooting concerning hydraulic lift. Can anyone help?

Assuming tractor drives normally (good power even when warmed up)  i would suspect the implement relief valve.  The spring may be broken or the ball not seating well.that would preclude generating enough pressure to operate the lift.  (See page 5 and 35 in the manual) Do you have access to apressure gauge that will go up to 1000 psi to run a pressure test???

Thank you! 

I'll consult the manuals again. Mine are repro's - best I could find on net. I do have a gauge and will try a test. Based on your comment, I'd say, assuming the pump is building proper pressure, the relief valve must be sticking open. Do you have a reliable source for parts? Dealers around here are hit and miss on parts.

:WRS:     I would agree that if it drives well the relief valve spring is the most likely suspect.        These manuals are another set for Sundstrand. In addition to A-Z and LJ Fluid you may be able to find some parts by contacting member @daveoman1966, he works with them.
