What is this thing? How does it work?

[teg]

One thing I would suggest... there are top links with and without check valves. I would get a top link WITH a check valve which would help with any leak down..

If you are gonna set the top link and forget it, why spend the money on a hydraulic one?

I adjust my toplink all the time. Changing pitch on a blade, dropping a mower over a bank or up an incline, adjusting pitch on a trailer mover ball, etc etc.

If your only adjustment is to hook up then go, why go with hydraulics?

Because I'm a fat, lazy, retired sailor who has money to burn and I don't like getting off and on the tractor to mess with some screw. Now, where's my bourbon? "Hey woman, get over here and light my cigar. And while you're at it, take off those fancy pajamas...."

This is what I ordered. Now to install it....

The TS300 has been overhauled. Works fine now. The hydraulic top link (with check valves) has been installed. Cylinder extends only...does not retract. Do I need a different control valve?

Does anyone have any weatherhead crimper dies for a T410 t440 or t400 dies they want to sell preferably used. Thanks,:drink:

Wonder if your valve is made for a single acting cylinder. Something designed to be powered only one way and gravity return? Kinda like your 3ph

The description of the Part, TS300 (stamped on the part), will allow 3 setups. MY question is does anyone have the plumbing diagram of the TS300... (setup for 2 way)

def38, can you take a few more photos, it looks like the opposite side of where your hoses come into the valve, looks like a plug. Take 4 photos of each side... I'm thinking the valve will work but it needs to be plumbed correctly.

Additional photos attached.













I swapped the hoses at the rear and no change. I'm baffled.

The first thing I would do, is to remove both hoses from the valve on the transmission to the valve on the fender (at the fender end), then stick both of them into a clean five gallon bucket and start the tractor. One of them should let out fluid. That one should go to the in port of the valve on the fender. You should be able to blow into the other one if you have the three-point hitch levers all the way down. That one should go to the out port of the valve on the fender. While you have things apart, make sure you can blow air from the in-port to to the out-port of the valve on the fender.

This is from memory. My deceased brother in law had a old ford he thought the world of. It had a one arm loader that was a beast on it. It had a valve like you are describing that was used to operate the loader when mounted on the tractor. I think the tractor was a Ford 2000.

If you could find some info on how the hydraulics were plumbed on one of the old fords with the one arm loaders, you may be on the way to solving your problem.
