Plumbing hydraulic case drain Ford 5000?

mschwartz · Dec 27, 2023

Hello, I recently purchased a Kinghitter post driver for use on the farm. My research shows that being able to plumb the hydraulics so that the return when dropping the hammer is unrestricted ( not through a pioneer coupler). Will work much better. Has anyone used one of these hydraulic post drivers on an older tractor? The Ford 5000 is my newest three point tractor. Only thing I am seeing is to possibly plumb a tee into the fill port above the rock shaft. Not seeing any open ports back into the hydraulic reservoir. Looking for any thoughts or insights. Thanks, Mike .

I used such a driver on an IH 656. The relief of the hydraulic oil when the driver was descending was conducted through a large hose to the filler opening to the hydraulic/transmission oil reservoir.
