Hi Folks,
The time has come to install a wet line kit on my '89 3910. Its 2x4 and never had any wet lines previously.
I purchased this kit: Remote Valve Control Kit | Ford 2 231 26 261 281 291 3 323 343 36 361 39 391 393 4 41 411 413 46 461 463 | | D9NNB95 BB | 8394476
Its not the exact kit shown in the picture though but similar. It didn't come with any instructions and a few O-rings were missing from the damaged packaging.
I was hoping I could get some pointers on install and operation. I assume that each opening on the bottom of the valve needs an O-ring on it, including the oval part. Do I just unbolt my existing cover plate, and install the new valve with the 4 supplied bolts? Also, what is the little turn screw valve on the side?
Operationally, I assume I just move the valve one direction, and a cylinder will move that way, move it the other way and then the cylinder moves the opposite way? It has no detent function. If I wanted to use it with a post driver with its own controls, would I just hold the valve in the open position?
Do i need to use Ambera Multi-G in the rear end or can I get by with standard (cheaper) hydraulic trans fluid?
Lastly, my flow control knob on the side of the tractor is seized and has been for a long time. Is there any trick to un-siezing it? I tried a big socket that fit the knob but I was afraid I was going to break it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
