Hello,
I have an old 8n that I'm trying to use to do some plowing with. It looks good and runs well.
Last year I installed an auxillary hydraulic system that 'theoldhokie' put together for me. That works great, except I'm having troubles with my 3pt hitch now (and ever since installing the kit actually). I can no longer use the original touch lever to raise and lower the lift. There is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the diverter valve that I was using to manually raise and lower the arms, but that's not going to work for me with plowing this fall.
As far as I know, the auxilliary system should not interfere with the original whatsoever, it simply uses the original sump. The return line from the diverter goes into the top of the tractor just next to the shifter and the oil supply line just comes out of the bottom of the sump.
Is it possible that this is putting too much (or not enough) pressure into the original pump that the lift is not being actuated?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
