I am restoring my late Grandfather's 300 Row Crop. We have been having some issues with the hydraulic system. We don’t think it is the pump, we think we are missing a part in the manifold. I will try to describe it, unfortunately there is no detailed drawing of it in the book that I have.
Where the steel hydraulic lines bolt onto the hydraulic manifold (behind the gages, below the steering wheel), there are two holes in the manifold for the two lines, one smaller and one larger, just like the lines themselves. Is there a machined sleeve or fitting of some sort that slides into the larger diameter hole before the lines are put on? It appears that there may be a need for something like this...
We are not getting hydraulic fluid pumping through the lines. We have a new (old) pump, new filter, and new fluid in the system.
