Ok everyone. I just finished mounting the Farmhand loader on my M. Currently the loader only lifts about half as high as it should (5-6 feet of the brochure's listed 12 feet) and then seemingly runs out of fluid to push it up further. It came with the auxiliary hydraulic oil tank. In one of the photos (that I pulled from Craigslist prior to me purchasing the loader), it shows a larger hose that looks like it would have connected to the bottom of the hydraulic oil tank and maybe to the Lift-All fill. I did not get this hose with the loader when I purchased it, however (previous owner said the hose was long gone). Does anyone know - can I just mount the oil tank near the fill of the Lift-All and run a hose from the outlet of the oil tank to the oil fill on the Lift-All pump to give it extra fluid capacity? (It won't damage the Lift-All will it with seemingly being over-full)? I have looked over the brochure and it shows on the cover the loader is mounted on the Farmall H, and the auxiliary tank is mounted near the front of the tractor. It also shows that on a Farmall C they have the auxiliary tank mounted near the touch-control, but it doesn't show how it is plumbed into the system. I took a couple closeups of the pictures of the loader on an H in the brochure - it seems there is a hose that runs back from the tank to where the Lift-All fill tube is. Enclosed are photos I have.
Any help is appreciated.
