Bypass dual power control??

Does anyone know if a ford 9700 will run if I bypass the dual power control and send all the pressure to the pto. Will it just be the same as a single power tractor?
 
I would get a service manual read up on the procedures for checking pto and dual power clutch pack pressure. You are dealing with sealing rings, O-rings etc. in those packs. Study the hydraulic schematic to determine which component has priority in the circuit. Diverting pressure away from a component could cause damage.
 
Your going to ruin that tractor completely running it without fixing the problem. You have a leak in the high or low clutch pack circuit. That is why the PTO quits working. The high pressure oil is leaking out through the Dual Power. So you then do not have enough to keep the PTO clutch pack engaged. This is why the PTO will kind of work when you hold the Dual power between high and low. Running it like this will ruin the Dual power clutch packs as well as the PTO pack. With this low pressure problem none of them are engaging correctly. So they are going to slip and burn up.

Find out where to check the Dual power clutch pack pressure and what reading you should have. You should also be able to check the PTO clutch pack pressure as well.

I know very little about FORD large row crop tractors but I DO understand how they work. The Dual power and the PTO are one system on those tractors so a leak in any of the clutch packs makes all of them not work correctly.
