Ford 3000 Hydraulic Remote - won't put power to one side

Hi Gang,

I love this forum!

I really want my wife to be able to hook up
implements with the quick-hitch so...

I"ve got a "67 Ford 3000, built in England. It
has a factory remote built in, and I"d never tried
to use it until last week. I bought a hydraulic
top link and hooked it up. I can get it to give
pressure through the "lift" hose, and when i push
it the other way, it allows the cylinder to
release tension, but won"t push it the other way.
When I have it in the "drop" detent, I can feel
the hose pulsing a little differently, but it
doesn"t pressure up at all.

The remote carries the number C5NNB929K. It has
detents in the load and drop directions. It has a
screw labeled "float".

I have pulled out the "float" screw and it has an
o-ring back in there, but I have never looked
inside one of these to know if there is something
missing.

Any thoughts? Am I missing an o-ring or
anything? Should it give power to "drop" Why
would it have 2 hoses if not?). Is there
something external that needs to be done to make
it a true 2-way remote?

Thanks for any help you can give!!

Pictures for above post - this is a first for me!

Most of those remote valves could be configured for either single or double acting cylinders. I believe that the small screw on the front of the valve changes it between the 2 modes, but I'm not sure which way is which. Hopefully someone else who is more familiar with that model valve will come along and chime in.
 
That"s the same type of float screw as I have on my 2000. Turn it in all the way clockwise and it should be double acting.
 
Just an observation... the drop of fluid about to drip off of the end of that shaft in the second picture looks pretty milky. Probably got water in the fluid and it should be changed.
 
Yes, I've tried it with the float screw all the way tightened. As it is pictured, that''s as far in as I've gotten it to go. It screws tight there. I have seen pictures of similar hydraulic units where the float screw is sitting almost up against the body...

Should the float screw screw past a position and screw into a deeper thread?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks or the observation of the fluid - I changed
it less than a year ago because the fluid was
freezing in cold weather... I need to trace down
the water source.

Peace.
