MF 35 top cover cracked ?

brother was using my tracto today. as he had the bush hog up the top cover cracked and hydraulics stoped working. what would cause the top cover to crack like that ?
 
Hi, with the MF35 you are likely to have the original 'thinner' hydraulic cover installed. The covers were upgraded on later tractors. A shock loading may have caused it but I'd say it is more likely that the upper limit stop on the POSITION LEVER section of the quadrant has been moved to try and gain extra lift on the 3-point linkage. In doing this the internal linkage will lock up and exert excessive loadings on the cover or hydraulic cylinder. When fully raised the 3-point MUST be able to be lifted approx 1- 1 1/2" at the ball ends to ensure that this situation cannot occur.
