Hey all, first post ever. HELP!
I purchased a used Koyker loader and have installed it on my Ford/NH 1715.
I am more than a bit baffled about the hydraulic connections. The tractor has three ports located on the diverter valve.
Pressure Out
Pressure Return
Sump or Tank
I think I understand operation of diverter valve. Turning CCW enables fluid to flow to Auxillary equip then to 3pt. (which I turn during my attempts)
I have connected it in every combination possible and cannot get proper operation.
My neighbor has a Ford/NH and his is connected to Pressure Out and Pressure Return only. The Ford/NH manual shows the factory FEL with three lines connected listed as above. My FEL valves only have two lines (P&T) like my neighbors. It is an open center. I purchased a power beyond adapter from a Koyker dealer for my FEL valve thinking that this line would connect to power return. Unfortunately it did not fit. (still trying to get proper one) The same power beyond adapter (with a plug inserted) can be used to change the FEL valve to closed center. Could this work and just run lines to pressure out and tank?
Suggestions???
Thanks in Advance Mike1715
