Post driver for MF 50

fatoldfool2 · Feb 28, 2018

I just bought a post driver to use on my 50. Dealer assures me it will work with the 90wt mineral oil. Where do I pick up the hydraulic suppy for a remote? Will I have to buy anything except the hose and remote? thanks!

Here's a photo that will show the supply and return ports. Ratchet wrench socket is the pressure out, rear allen wrench plug is the return port.

Hmm. Driver I will pick up tomorrow has 1 hydraulic line and a large line they said dumps back into the tranny through the fill plug hole. I will have pix tomorrow night.

Couldn't post a pic. Driver has only 2 hoses, pressure supply and a larger (probably 1 in.) return line that dumps into the tranny. Do I need anything other that to connect the pressure supply? Will I need any valving?

Plumbed it up today. I have no pressure on that port. will go read owners and repair manual. Froze my tail off in that wind. I'm through outside for today.

No pressure from that port and the manual gives no information regarding that port. What now?

Did you put the position control into constant pumping?

fatoldfool2 · Mar 2, 2018

Looked manual through and can find no reference to constant pumping. What lever, which position? lift works fine.

and then I re-read the manual, and right there it was, a single paragraph, saying "draft lever must be in auxillary position when using a remote cylinder". (don't call myself fatoldfool for no reason)! Thank you for your help!
