Good evening.
Back to the Farmall 706...
I have a set of aux valves under the seat that leak lots of hytran. I need to stop the leaks.
My repair guy suggested that the old valves are not repairable, that there are no seals and no way to fix the leaks, so get new ones.
Ouch, I just know that's more money than I have in the piggy bank.
I have a 404 (504?) that the same repair guy took care of for me. Can't stop the leakage, so he ran some tubing so the leak would go back to the tractor instead of on the ground! OK, weird perhaps, but it works. You can see that setup in one of the photos.
I'd do the same thing on the 706, but as you can see in the other photo, the plumbing is to close to the valve vent. And it's all hard tubing, welded to the block, so I can't get fittings in there.
OK, here are the questions:
1. Is is true that the valves can't be rebuilt or new rings put in there or something?
2. Any ideas about how to get more room to add the fittings to bleed the leak back to the sump?
Thanks,
Jim
