Ford 2110 Hydraulic issues

Tx Jim,

Are you talking about a thermal relief valve or safety relief which is set a good bit higher than the relief valve. .

It has to be worn 3pt piston seals with the descent knob closed..

3 pt dropping after engine is shut off could be leaking rockshaft piston seals as previously stated or RS control valves leaking or thermal relief valve leaking.

Looking at the parts diagram, would the piston seal be #7?

 

[J_J]

Yep, #7 is the seal.

I was referring to a thermal relief valve. I know JD's have them but I'm not sure about a Ford.

Guys, how do I go about replacing the seal? Do I have to completely remove the lift cover?

 

[Tx Jim]

Yes lift cover must be removed to access the piston.

 

[jefmfree]

Is removing the lift cover difficult? I'm very mechanically inclined but have never done this. Any pointers? Anything else you would check or replace while the cover is off? Thanks for all the help guys. I really appreciate it.

Can you take a look at a shop manual? Some dealers will let you.

I'm thinking about just going ahead an ordering one. That way I'll have it for any other repairs that might need to be made.

always good to have a shop manual.
