I'm thinking of getting a spare lift cover. A pic of mine is below:
Is the one below the same? The auxiliary valve on the front looks different but are the two covers the same?
Thanks,
Ben
Hydraulic Lift Covers - are these the same?
Ben,
Your first picture has an external supply that I have never seen before. Is it a set up for a front end loader? My set up on the left looks very basic.
a, b, & c all seem to be feeds. What the heck is link d?
I would swop my best dog for a DAV, around here they are as rare as hens teeth and you sound as if you have a choice. I think I need to move to your part of Wales.
Cheers
Alan

They are the same top cover but one has the early aux service chest. These can be interchanged.
If you want to use a hydraulic motor you should use the one with the selector. You can vary the speed of the motor with the flow control. The flow rate is not great but I have run things like fertilizer spreaders successfully.

Yes we have a front loader on our Dexta.
a is the in/out selector valve to select either auxiliary or 3-point linkage hydraulics.
b must be selected 'on' for the front loader.
c is a pipe to the rear eg for a tipping trailer, which is currently capped. To use this the front loader would be switched off using b.
d is the flow control adjuster which moderates the response of the qualitrol - I'm sure Brian can say more!
Thanks to Lesfen/Brian for confirming that all covers are the same.
All the best,
Ben
hi
been missing for a while - don't know if the actual overall cover is different but there are two types of quadrant fixing i believe. the earlier type has four bolts this was superseded by two bolt type from serial number 76093 in 1961 i believe ( source article t & M Nov 2005).
Same source lists the flow control valve - link D - as being available from November 1961 as well. i presume there will be some crossover between the two. Your picture is the later flow control type valve.
hope this helps
Ps Something that has always intrigued me is that the main picture in the artical shows the tractor being driven by a lady towards the camera BUT the exhaust is on the drivers right and air cleaner, dynamo etc to the left the opposite of the normal and indeed every other picture in the article - is this a unique model or just some computer image trickery???
