(quoted from post at 09:13:06 02/24/15) The 2 pt hitch you bought, you haven't put it on yet right? Are you sure its for a IHC, because I have never seen one that mounts on the platform, where would you foot go.Is there a chance it's for a 44 or a 444 Massey, and someone cut the sockets off the 3 point, and welded on 2 pt hitch recievers ?
(quoted from post at 16:17:42 02/24/15) there were two styles of fast hitch for a 400, the one pictured above is the early style. it has two cylinders. The large one in the back is for raising & lowering the hitch, the small cylinder on the side is to raise & lower the hitch point. There is also a junction block that attaches to the rear remote on the battery box, this block has a relief valve inside that prevents the hitch from leaking down and retards the lowering of the implement slightly, you will also need the u shaped drawbar.
The later style is called fast hitch with traction control and this hitch has only the one large cylinder in the rear but will also include a large D shaped handle with notches that comes up to the operator's left rear of the platform, this adjusts the amount of draft & weight placed on the rear tires for increased traction.
If you can provide a photo or two of the hitch you purchased we can help you identify which style you have & which cylinders you will need.
Yes, it is coming out of the air breather. In fact, prolly need a new air breather cap. I have another different cylinder but am kinda waiting on the weather to be a bit more cooperative. I am in idaho but it seems to be very chilly in the morning and I think I need a different set of hoses to go to the other cylinder. Need longer hoses made or adapt it with pipe as it is a standard cylinder rather than a top feed for both connectors. Are the two blocks on the side of the battery box the check valve? Seems to be an outer box and an inner box that are two pieces of the whole. Thanks for this information. I may just take the back plate off the PTO and see what is inside. Might be better to clean it out any way.(quoted from post at 18:14:46 02/25/15) Is the leak coming from the air breather on the top left of the PTO housing? That would be an indication of the PTO oring that is between the unit & the rear end, there is also a seal that is visible around the shaft. There is also an oring around the actuating lever on the right side.
If the hitch is slipping down, as advised above, I would rebuild the cylinder first. Then the check valve one hose hooks to on the side of the battery box would be the next thing I would replace the orings in.
I use straight hytrans in my F300 for the hydraulic oil.
I know they are a bit pricey, but I got all my orings from C-IH by p/n from the parts book. The numbers will change quite a few times, but, at least that way I know I have the right one, and only have to fix it once.
