External Hydraulic Feed ???

[supermajor61]

I saw this early Super Major at a show last weekend, and the top cover and hydraulics interested me.







On the side near to the position / qualitrol lever is a brass gate valve, which had some oil dripping from it.

My similar tractor has a blanking plug in that position







Does this tapping give oil at pump pressure ?? i'm looking for a way to power a log splitter.

Second question, has anybody freed their flow control valve, and how did you do it. Force won't work the knob is plastic.

Hi just been reading your post, i dont usually post here as its a dexta ihave , but the flow control valve
seems to be the same as the dexta, i released mine which was also sized , its funny they get compleaty
gummed up , iwas able to get mine just to move every so slightly with the aid of wd40 lots of it , it took along time
working at now an again , it eventally relased, idont use it th,at much it just buged me that it didnt work right,. it screws
in and out easily now, also be very careful as you gan break the bakilight nob if you force it to roughfuly Regards sky blue

That port is really for pressure testing, it is where the gauge goes. You will only get pump pressure here by pulling the Auxiliary Service Button and "dead heading" the system, or when the lift is lifting when it will give you ram cylinder pressure.
