Massey Ferguson 1105 Hydraulic Issues

Hey all! Recently purchased an 1105 Massey tractor. We tried to put the tractor on our bean drill, and quickly figured out that there was some issues. When you would push the lever to raise the drill it would raise it to the top, and then when you kicked it backed to the neutral position it immediately dropped back down. This was the same for both sides of the couplers. We assumed it was the valves that the hydraulic levers are attached to as they seemed a little sticky. We removed it and took it to a tractor guy that supposedly repaired it. I put it back in with the same results. What am I missing? Do I have a line on wrong, or is it something else. It seems weird to me because both sets of coupler act the same way. And it settles immediatly without hesitation. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I would try the drill on another tractor, might be a bad cylinder on the drill. A bad piston seal will act like what you have going
on.

It isnt that. We ran the drill on our 1100 without any issues

Almost sounds like it's going to the float position. In the back corner on the right side of the cab, there is a
small lever, it reads (as I recall) down pressure, draft and position. Do you have that lever set to position?

Also send me an email - email is open.

The problem you described has the exact symptoms of a
failing piston seal in the cylinder on the drill. Especially
since you say it does the same thing on both sets of
remotes. If you took the drill off of this tractor and hooked it
to your 1100 and it works fine your point is proven. But say
for instance you unhooked the drill from the 1100 or just
used it on you 1100 a month ago this does not verify that
the drill cylinder is working properly. Say AS AN EXAMPLE
the auto canceling release pressure for the remote on the
1105 requires 500 psi more than the 1100 and the seal ring
on the drill cylinder piston was worn and near failure. You
connect the drill cylinder and hit the lever to raise it. Due to
the fact that the 1105 applied 500 psi more to the cylinder
when it hit the end of the stroke your weak piston seal has
now failed. This all comes under the old saying ..trust but
verify.. hope you understand what I am saying. Just trying
to save you from trying to fix a problem with the tractor that
does not exist. I am not an expert on a 1105 but I think the
3 position lever Bill VA has mentioned only applies to
operation of the 3 point hitch. If someone knows otherwise
I have learned something today.

For some reason it wont let me email you. I have messed with this lever. And it does the same thing in all positions. Ive put the tractor on other implements with the same results. Which leads me to believe that it is the tractor and not the implement

The position, draft, pressure control lever only affects the 3pt. Has nothing to do with the remotes.

I am mistaken - the position, draft down pressure lever is not your problem.

If your lift lever is being pushed to far forward, it will go to float position.

Switch to classic view (if you are not already using it) and in the lower right corner of this reply dialog, should be able to click on email. That usually
works, but maybe no more?

Another try...

I would love to email you. But for some reason your profile doesnt list an email
