[AT] Shows and hydraulics

[Ernst Borchert]

I had the same problem with our 1937 Case CO, but was able to plant with it.
Had to use a jack to re-install the travel guards. Never did find out why it
would not lift the drill.

Posting of shows is always fine.  Even if you are a vendor or show sponsor,
the benefits to our mailing list outweigh any potential conflict of
interest.  Plus - let's face it.  No one made a killing on an antique
tractor show. (-:

I did have an antique tractor disappointment this weekend.   The remote
hydraulics on my Ford 861 would not operate the county grain drill.  My
friend and neighbor with a very nice JD 4720 saved the day and we got my ten
acres drilled, but I am a bit stumped as to why mine would not handle it.
The hydraulics are 2000 psi and 4 gallons a minute.   I assumed the action
would be slow, but with only two 3, maybe 4" cylinders (plumbed in series)
on each wheel, I assumed it would raise and lower it.   All it did was move
it up enough to get the travel guards off the rams.  Then it would not get
it up enough to get them back on O-:=

Just curious what you folks thought was my problem.  My neighbor and I just
assumed it was a power issue. But it is only a ~6' foot drill and does not
weigh that much.  My other hydraulic implements operate fine - granted they
are single 2 and 3 inch cylinders.

I tried all the usual stuff, like routing the discharge straight to the
reservoir, switching lines, etc.  any feedback would be appreciated

Ps.  The drill was a Truax Flex II
