Oh boy what a video! It was quite a lot of work getting the hydraulics fixed! There's a reason it's almost an hour long.
I started with an issue with the hydraulics in the previous video. The 3-point hitch kept sagging and would quickly correct itself and repeat this process over and over.
I pulled off the cover, cleaned out the sludge and added oil. I then added a new piston O-Ring and replaced the cam follower pin.
BEWARE! The cam follower pin can be EXTREMELY difficult to remove, it may not be as easy as some videos make it out to be!
Once I replaced these parts, I went and put the cover back on to test and see if I had fixed it. NOPE!
The hydraulics were now worse than before. It could raise the implement just fine, but once it got to its selected height, it would violently bounce up and down.
Upon inserting a borescope and researching online, it appeared to be something in one of the valves, possibly the unloading valve, check valve, or back pressure valve.
After pulling everything off again, I purchased another set of O-Rings and gaskets from Steiner, but it didn't have the correct O-Ring for the unloading valve.
I then found the right part number and purchased a proper O-Ring from eBay.
After replacing the O-Ring in the unloading valve, I reassembled everything and it works!
Kinda...
It moves down and can stay rock solid in place, not to mention it raises the implement much higher than before.
Only problem is that it shudders when raising the implement. This could be caused by air bubbles working their way into the hydraulic pump.
I'll have to bleed the system with the bleed plug on the pump, but I have not been able to do that just yet, I'll update below.
*UPDATE*
Jittering seems to have stopped after running it for a while, huge thanks to those that offered some insight on this issue!
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed it and/or learned something.
This video series is a way for my family to be a part of this project.

I think the chicken part was funny! Sense of humor matches mine 😂 For the piston head o ring section, according to the Dan and Rachel Gingell video, you’re supposed to soak the leather ring in water (couple hours?) and then it’ll stretch over the piston. I think the order was leather ring then rubber ring, with the leather closest to the pocket end of the piston. I’m trying to diagnose my Ford 2000 4cyl hydraulics not working and your video encouraged me seeing that I’m not the only young (pronounced clueless) person trying to fix an old tractor! My neighbor has a good point though, these things HAD to be simple enough for a farmer to be able to fix it in the middle of a field with minimal tools and materials

@benkanobe7500 Месяц назад

The shoulder harness for carrying the top assembly was mighty smart of you.

@LandonsLaboratory Месяц назад

My back wouldn't agree with that assessment 😂

@scottbehr5690 Год назад

Dan and Rachel Gingell are a wealth of information on old ford tractors! Use the leather one. Also check "Yesterdays Tractor" for parts

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

I agree, they were a fantastic starting point for this stage of the project! I've seen yesterday's tractors but I think I've only seen the forum. (Maybe I'm thinking of something else.) I'll have to check it out, thanks!

@larannar123 Год назад

Lol,dude you have the patience of Job...😄 I was so happy when the hydraulic worked for you!! Enjoying this series!💯👍

@davids6533 Год назад

I would like to suggest using the closed end of your wrench when you are applying a lot of pressure, like when you were draining the gear box oil, or removing the seat mount bolts. First, you reduce the chance of it slipping and rounding off the head of the bolt down to almost zero. Second, You could have used a "cheater bar" method which is usually using another closed end wrench where you position the closed end of the second wrench over the open end of the wrench you're using to remove the bolt with, giving you twice the leverage on the bolt without using heat , etc. If someone can explain this in a better way, please do. This was my best effort.

Any time I know I'm gonna be wrenching on my dad's AC D17, the day before I'm set to do it I PB Blaster every screw and bolt within 20 feet of the part I know I'll be focusing on. And I won't go anywhere near the arena of battle without my deep socket set, breaker bar, Milwaukee M18 high-torque impact wrench, and an empty swear jar.

@LandonsLaboratory 7 месяцев назад

Hahaha I'll have to remember that next time. And I wonder if harbor freight sells sweat jars 🤔

@scottroberts3431 2 месяца назад

I had same problems with pivot pin, draft control arm, etc. I have an 801 and a 601. Both were not easy at all.

@johnlenoir1023 Год назад

Yes most of the time when you're hydraulics are jerky like that it is air in the system that has not managed to escape I don't see anything wrong with the way you done that I think you did a dang good job

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

Thanks for the advice and thank you for the compliment. I didn't expect the job to last more than a couple of days but I ended up getting intimate with the workings of the system! haha

@EdwardBachand 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for telling me about how the glass drill bit worked! Did not take the arm off when drilling worked fine thanks.

@LandonsLaboratory 10 месяцев назад

That's great! Glad you were able to get it!

Rigtig godt stykke arbejde,dejligt når der er nogen der kan lave de gamle traktorer, fornøjelse at følge med i , send nogle flere film om restaurering af gamle traktorer❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

@swamprat69er Год назад

Happy New Year. Seeing as you asked, I think you should close in your lean to sides and back. The more 'weather' you keep out of your work area, the better.

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

Happy new year to you as well! I appreciate it, I'm trying to think of a good way to do that while also making sure that it is visually pleasing to my wife haha

@gearsnstuff7330 Год назад

There's no way that there isn't air in the lines after that, they should (for the most part) work themselves out just with use of the hydraulics. I can only hope/assume that there's a hydraulic oil filter somewhere in the system, I'd recommend changing that out, it doesn't sound major, but I saw a massive improvement in my tractor's hydraulics response when I changed out the old filter. if the system continues to fight you, you might want to look into taking that lift cylinder assembly to a hydraulics shop. Also, I have filmed while working on a tractor, and I can agree that it's a major pain

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

That's good to know, I'll have to keep an eye on it. Maybe I'll just see if I can let them work out and if that doesn't work I'll then try the plug. Should be a good piece of data for others as well. Thanks for the insight!

@lynnmackenzie9501 Год назад

Next time just use some gas to clean the hydraulic sump

@philliphall5198 Год назад

Lololo old hen is checking it out Lololo Funny one, it’s not hard to do if you got parts handy Use oring on filler cap

@rickboggs4828 4 месяца назад

Go to harbor freight and buy you a box of o-ring s the red box save you hundreds of dollars

@benkanobe7500 Месяц назад

You are the first person I have seen take the hydraulics levers apart to isolate the arm with the worn pin. Was it hard to do that and was it hard to put back together? I don't like to beat on things and would prefer to remove the arm like you did and then press the pin out in my 20 ton press. It should be very easy with the press and the right size pin to press it out with. I just don't know how hard it is the R&R the arm with pin as you are the only one to do that. Thoughts or suggestions?? Thank you. You made if fun to watch!

@LandonsLaboratory Месяц назад

It wasn't too difficult, I think the hardest part was not having a proper work surface to do everything on. Of course take lots of pictures (in my case videos) and having the manual for your tractor is one of the best things. Getting in there to remove the castle nut was a bit finnicky, but do-able. Best of luck and thank you!

@nkoehler3758 Год назад

stiener tractor is a good place to buy parts

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

I agree, I was amazed at the wide variety of parts that are still available for these old tractor's!

@philliphall5198 Год назад

I agree with that and that girls place is great also

@raimondoliotta8281 Год назад

Good job. What are your plans for this tractor?

@LandonsLaboratory Год назад

Thanks! I hope to first get the main issues sorted with it, hydraulics, brakes, gauges, etc. Then clean/paint it to just get it to as good a point as I can get it. We've got some land behind the house so I'm hoping to use it for a little bit of grading and cleaning once we get it mulched. Hoping to get a good little plot of flowers and veggies, etc. put together for my wife since she loves doing that stuff. I may ride it hard every now and again but I have no intentions of putting it up wet. I definitely want my future kids to get use of it which is why I want to get it looking and working great again best I can. Hope you enjoyed it!

@MrTinks01 11 месяцев назад

Kerosene or diesel fuel for cleaning. ...

@benkanobe7500 Месяц назад

Did you purchase a complete hydraulics rebuild kit and if so from who?

@LandonsLaboratory Месяц назад

I purchased the o-rings and gaskets from Steiner Tractors. But I had to find the unloading valve Oring on EBay. The links are at the bottom of the description.

@TheKid-kk9qk 8 месяцев назад

Had to stop watching the video within the first 20 seconds. Can’t take a guy seriously that’s talking to a chicken.

@LandonsLaboratory 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the feedback, while I try to keep it fun and leighthearted, I know my humor isn't always everyone's cup of tea. (Just ask my wife.) If you're needing hydraulics help with a 601 style Ford tractor, I'd ask that you give the rest of the video a chance, it should offer some more insight into the system.
