So there is constant pumping to the rear hydraulic socket? I need constant pumping to two sockets so I can use a steerage hoe that is controller by the person at the back to steer left and right, would this work for that or do I need a dual system?
There is constant pumping when the linkage control lever is moved all the way up. To have two sockets constantly pumping would mean the line from the diverter would need to be spilt into two ends.
Have you used new bolts to fix down the Diverter? I am using the old bolts and am finding no room for a spanner on the rearward bolt and no room for even a slimline socket and therefore cannot clamp it down tight enough.
The old metal pipe did you just blank that off ? I'm trying to get the 135 to do this it doesn't have that metal pipe I'm guessing that makes no difference I have the diverter just slowly getting the couplings as I've used old ones and they are failing so haven't got to a point of seeing it it works yet. I'm hoping I've not missed something it seems too simple to be true
@@chewder the old metal pipe was the original one way spool which works when the linkage gets to the top of its travel, the diverter takes oil away from the linkage and sends it to your new spools. If yours doesn't have the original single spool it wont matter
Yeah the hydraulic pump provides enough pressure on tick over to split most logs, however it won't split really knotty wood as it triggers the bypass valve
The valve came from May Hill Tractor Parts ( Massey Ferguson hydraulic top cover diverter) and the hydraulic hoses and fittings came from a local hydraulic place
Great video. If you lifted an implement up and then switched the diverter do the lift arms stay in the position before you switched or do they go down?
Interesting, I think my phone has been listening to me again, I was talking to a hydraulic engineer about this very subject on Friday morning, then this pops up on uTube!! Is this a system you have come up with yourself Luke, or is there info out there which would explain it all. The reason I’m interested in doing the same is I have an old Tarrup flail forage harvester which I use for topping weeds in our paddocks (don’t like sprays) but I need to pick the cutter off the ground between patches, so as not to cut the grass, this, at the moment is done by winding a handle around, I want to use a ram. I take it this system doesn’t create a double acting system does it? Musics fine😊
Thanks 👍, I had seen on RU-vid someone put a flow and return system on and which hole to put the return pipe in, then I bought the valve block from May Hill Tractor parts and fitted it, the fluid only flows in one direction but with a valve block like that one the log splitter it can become double acting. 👍
So your add on diverts the flow from the lifting arms to an aux while using the std lift control lever, am I getting that right? Well done. Where did you get the Diverter??
Yes it diverts flow from the arms and they stay in position, the diverter came from may hill tractor parts, to use the log splitter I put the position control lever into the constant pumping section at the top of the quadrant and use the lever on the log splitter to control it👍
will be a handy tractor about the place ........seems to have recovered well from its extended slumber ................had a clutch stick to the flywheel after sitting for just over a month here one time .......replaced the slave cylinder thinking that was the trouble ........your tractor is worth more today than when it was parked up ........
Towed it out of the shed because we knew the clutch would be stuck after sitting so used the other tractor as an anchor and put the Belarus in gear with the clutch down to unstick the plates from one another
Great video apart from the music… at least I could mute, I’m not cultured maybe? Neat job with the hydraulics, need to do this modification to my MF135, thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.
Lol, it would fit in while bombing people in a war movie. I guess it depends on your music tastes. My 4 year old gets me to listen to Peppa Pig or some other obnoxious stuff while working on things. Moonlight Sonata is her favorite song though. @Corvacar
