rrlund one way cylinder

rrlund, I hooked up a hose from the remote to the bypass for the single acting hyd. cylinder. The cylinder worked...kinda. It raised and lowered the rear of the plow but when I raised the 3-point the plow cylinder raised also...The 3-pt also "hiccups". It will drift down just a bit then pop back up. When it does that the plow cylinder raises an inch or two. When I went back to the double acting cylinder the right side remote would not raise the plow...changed to left side...worked fine. I may have some other issues to dig through...
 
mine wouldn't work right with the lines linked backwards. If I didn't hook it up
with the remote operating the cylinder in the right direction (up, up and down,
down) it was difficult to raise and once set in position would drop. I thought they
were just directional like an electrical 3 way switch. Unless there is a problem
they must be hooked up in a particular way.

Then again I don't see how air could be removed from the cylinder if it doesn't
have a return and I don't see one unless it's internal. Hooking up the line in
reverse no matter what way they are could somehow bleed the air off...supposed to
though.

You may have bleed the system somehow.

Had to change the thermostat in an older gmc truck recently, it's always had a
problem bleeding the air out of the heater core. When I went to get it the guy
asked if I wanted the upgraded one with and internal bleeder...I said HECK YES. lol
Works.

a hiccup is typically a sign of air.
 
You keep forgetting you need pressure to knock the ball off the seat when you want to lower a single acting cylinder. More details when the corn & beans are done. J.

am going to get some new couplers for the hyd. Some of those good ones that hook up under pressure. When I change those I'm going to get a new filter and then see about bleeding the air out. I need to make sure both sets of remotes are working, but I think from here on out I'll just use a two way cylinder...I just thought since it was already on the plow...
 
In theory,should it work by running a hose back to the return where the power beyond return goes,and plugging the other end in to the coupler? Would it be the same as if that hose was direction the oil back to a two way cylinder?
