[Farmall] Hydraulic Questions

[E. John Puckett]

Carl, I cannot help you with the valves, but I do know that people have 
plumbed them by coming out of the drain on bottom of Liftall for the 
fluid supply, and plumbing back into the filler on top of the Liftall 
for a return.  The pump is an integral part of the casting, so not easy 
to remove.  Unless you have a problem such as leaking that requires 
removing the Liftall,  just remove the drive coupling (2 cotter keys and 
slide sleeves back) between the Liftall and the transmission.  The 
original set up when using a 30 or 31 loader on an H consisted of 2 
lines that hooked to the top end of cylinders and went to a T into the 
top of the Liftall.  On the first install, the loader was raised as far 
as the fluid would move it, then enough fluid added to get it all the 
way to the top.  The T was then connected and as the loader went back 
down excess fluid overflowed out the top and back into the top of the 
cylinders, so they became their own reservoir.  As the cylinders went up 
the next time the ram pushed the overflowed fluids back into the top of 
the reservoir for the pump to pick up.  This should also work with the 
live pump and remove the need for another reservoir.  I have been told 
that on an M, the Liftall held enough fluid this was not necessary.
