I just bought this Case 1070 a few weeks ago and l don't know much about it.
The steering, breaks, and clutch all work well, I does appear to have a rather new hydraulic pump.
I had used the remotes on some single line hydraulic cylinders such as folding a fairly heavy 15 foot brush hog and they worked very well and quick.
So far so good, now here is where I had problems.
Today I tried to open the back gate on a round bailer and it just cracked it open 4 inches and would not go any further. Then I tried to shut the gate and I got no movement at all as if the safety valve was shut but it was open.
I put the wife's pet tractor on the bailer and gate works fine. At this point I am just getting "go to " looks from the wife.
I put the 1070 on the wheel rake (which looked rather ridiculous which is further aggravated because the field is RIGHT by the road). But the wheel rake goes up and down rather nicely.
My wife is really good. She went ahead and raked hay with the 1070 but when I tried to call her she would not answer the phone.
When we got done bailing I begin to experiment with the remotes with the single line cylinder on the rake. The top hoses on both remotes has good pressure and flow.
The bottom hoses on both remotes have no flow at all. But the tractor does pull down a bit as if it is trying to operate the cylinder.
My question is - can these valves be set to single action? and if so how do I set them for double action?
A buddy thought I might have some bad female connectors on both bottom remote lines. I will replace them tomorrow.
I need to get this figured out and fixed before my wife takes her tractor and quits helping me in the hay field.
Thanks in advance for any mechanical advice and social/marital advice will also be gladly accepted.
