Greetings,
I was able to secure Ford part number 311805 to operate an angle
blade cylinder and found that this is a single-acting valve despite
having two hoses. Would someone please confirm?
As an example, when properly hooked up to this blade, it would
hydraulically angle the blade one way, but not be able to return it the
other direction.
I imagine this valve was designed for plows/discs/other equipment that
could be driven to the ground by gravity.
Any ideas, other than purchasing another two-way acting valve?
I imagine there is not a way to convert this OEM part to function
otherwise.
Thank you for your time!
