 OPERATION OF THE AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM USING A SINGLE-SPOOL,
DOUBLE-ACTING HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE

This section of the manual deals with the tractor preparation and operation of the
hydraulic system using the accessory code 677 464 single-spool, double-acting hy-
draulic control valve used on the MF 25 and MF 130 Tractors. With the addition of
this valve, one single-acting or one double-acting remote cylinder can be operated.

TRACTOR PREPARATION er is moved rearward, the hydraulic cylinder

Install the valve on the hydraulic lift cover in
place of the oil transfer cap, as shown in Fig.
10. Place the quadrant control lever in the
auxiliary pumping position to provide an oil
supply to the valve. When a pull-type imple-
ment is being used, two types of drawbars can
be used: the conventional swinging drawbar or
the accessory cross drawbar and stay links. If
the conventional swinging drawbar is used, the
tractor lower links must be put in the trans-
port position and fixed with the transport lock,
No. 1, Fig. 11. If the cross drawbar is used,
the drawbar height must be determined and
fixed with the stay links, as shown in Fig. 12.
It is assumed that, when the valve spool lev-
will extend by hydraulic pressure; this applies
to both single and double-acting cylinders.
To provide proper cylinder action in relation
to valve spool lever movement, the hydraulic
hoses must be connected to corresponding valve
and cylinder ports.
PREPARING DOUBLE-ACTING
CYLINDERS
To properly install the hydraulic hoses to
operate one double-acting cylinder, connect one
end of the hose to the "lift" or rear port of the

 MF 175 AND 180 TRACTOR
AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The auxiliary hydraulic system, as found in the MF 175 and MF 180 Tractors,
consists of a control valve, single or double-spool, hydraulic hoses and hose coup-
lers. This system is completely independent of the internal lift system, and is cap-
able of providing 7 U.S. - 5, 8 Imp gpm @ 2,000 engine rpm for external hydraulic
services. When operating three-point hitch-mounted implements (draft or position-
controlled), pressure control implements, or semi-mounted implements that require
a remote cylinder (either single or double-acting) to assist in the operation or control
of the implement, the auxiliary hydraulic system will be used for these purposes and
will not interfere with the operation of the internal Draft Control, Position Control or
Pressure Control system.

To properly install the hydraulic hoses to the
cylinder to provide proper cylinder action in

mounted implement, the auxiliary valve control
lever must be moved rearward. To lower the
rear of the semi-mounted implement, push
forward on the auxiliary valve control lever.

NOTE: Refer to the tractor's operator

manual for instructions on operating
the Ferguson Hydraulic System in
Draft or Position Control.

COMBINED OPERATION OF A
PRESSURE-CONTROLLED IMPLEMENT
AND AN EXTERNAL CYLINDER
To operate a pressure-controlled implement
and an external cylinder (single or double-
acting), refer to the section on preparing a
double-acting or single-acting cylinder. After
the cy Under has been properly prepared and
the hoses properly attached to the quick coup-
lers, the Pressure Control System would be
used to transfer implement weight, as des-
cribed in the tractor operator's manual. The
pull-type pressure-controlled implement would
be raised and lowered with the auxiliary hy-
draulic system. To raise the implement, the
cylinder must be extended by moving the aux-
iliary valve control lever rearward. If the op-
erator chooses to raise the implement to its
maximum transport height, the auxiliary valve
control lever can be moved rearward to its
"detent lift" position. After the cylinder has
reached its maximum extended stroke, the in-
ternal kick-out cartridge will automatically re-
turn the auxiliary valve control lever to neutral.
To lower the implement, push forward on the
auxiliary valve control lever. If the cylinder
is to be retracted. to its maximum stroke,
place the auxiliary valve control lever in its
"detent drop" position. After the cylinder has
reached its maximum retracted position, the
internal kick-out cartridge will automatically
return the auxiliary valve control lever to
neutral.
Fig. 49 - Combining Valve Installed - MF 175 Tractor
1. Switch Valve
To operate the single-acting cy Under, pull
rearward on the auxiliary valve control lever,
corresponding to the single-acting cylinder, to
produce an oil flow to activate the single-acting
cylinder. Push forward on the auxiliary valve
control lever to return oil from the single-act-
ing cylinder to the reservoir.
To operate the double-acting cylinder, pull
rearward on the auxiliary valve control lever
corresponding to the double-acting cylinder to
"extend" the cylinder. Push forward on the
auxiliary valve control lever to "retract" the
double-acting cylinder.
If the two cylinders ar.,1 lowered together and
one cylinder drops faster than the other, a
lock-out and variable drop cartridge can be
installed in the valve corresponding to the cy-
linder with the fastest rate of drop and adjusted
to slow down the rate of drop equal to that of the
slower cylinder.

COMBINED OPERATION OF
ONE SINGLE AND
ONE DOUBLE-ACTING CYLINDER
(Two-Spool Valve Models Only)
To operate a combination of one single and
double-acting remote cylinder, refer to the
section on preparing a double-acting and a sin-
gle-acting cylinder.
OPERATION OF THE
AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
USING THE COMBINING VALVE
The combining valve is an accessory for the
auxiliary hydraulic system on the MF 175 and
MF 180 Tractors. The purpose of this valve is

33
 /

to combine the output of the internal Ferguson

System pump and the auxiliary hydraulic sys-
tem pump providing a flow of 12 gpm@ 2,000
engine rpm, When the combining valve is in-
stalled, the Ferguson System is inoperative.

Install the combining valve on the right front

of the hydraulic lift cover in place of the oil
transfer cap, see Fig, 49, Attach the hydraulic
· line to the port in one of the auxiliary control
valves and to the fitting on the combining valve.
To provide the combined flow, turn the switch
valve, No. 1, Fig, 49, all the way out and
place the hydralever in constant pumping. The
combined flow would then be controlled by the
auxiliary control valve, One single-acting or
one double-acting cylinder can be operated, To
return the system to normal operation, move
the hydralever from the constant pumping posi-
tion to the position control area of the quadrant.
Turn the combining valve, switch valve comp-
letely "in", The internal Ferguson System
Fig. 50 - Combining Switch Valve Knob - MF 180 Tractor
and the Auxiliary Hydraulic system can now be
operated in their normal manner. The switch
valve for the MF 180 Tractor is illustrated in
Fig. 50.
