OK Guys, If you've read my previous posts, you know I'm new to this arena. I've got a 1965 IH 656, and the draft control is froze up. The lever is in the forward position, and I haven't had time to take a good look at it. Question is, when the lever is forward does that give you the most down force on the three point? I made a stump puller for it (kinda resembles a ripper tooth on the back of a bulldozer) and it won't go over 12" deep, even in soft ground. Any suggestions? Also having a problem with the hydraulics cavitating from time to time. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to when this happens. Doesn't seem to be related to blade depth either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, ROB

Makes a lot of sense the way you explained it. Thanks for the feedback.

you will get a simmilar cavitating response sometimes when you get a little water in the system.

Hi Rob,

Just so we are on the same page, we've got to agree that there is no 'down pressure' on a 656. Absolutely none. (But, I don't think this is how you meant it).

Okay, your draft control is a variable control ranging between "Heavy" and "Light"; when clear 'forward', the draft will allow the hitch to lower to the maximum amount that the torque finger and torsion bar will allow.

When the draft control is setting on the "light" position, the system will hold the hitch up at a shallower depth. (Hope this makes sense).

**But, all this will only happen if the hitch height control lever is down in the "Run" position.

If this hitch height control is down against it's normal lowering 'stop' (and not on down into the "run" position), the draft control system does not even apply or control anything. The hitch can travel from uppermost to lowermost. Kinda like a “manual control” thing.

In other words, if you keep that height control lever outta the "Run" position, depth is controlled entirely by the "suck" of your implement and the position of the height control lever.

Your cavitation problem. Are you sure it is cavitating and not just that draft control doing it's thing? They bump & yank ya around pretty good when they are controlling that hitch under load.

If the pump is indeed cavitating, then you have got to be low on fluid.????

Gee, hope all this cyphers out okay,

Allan
