Thanks for the help. I attached the pressure line to the hydraulic connection port to the rear of the control valve. There are 2 ports there, both appear to be pressure out. I had to disconnect the front end loader hose, and insert the log splitter hose. I couldn't connect into the second port because it seemed to be malfunctioning and not taking the hose in. Moving the hydraulic control valve to the "lift" position allowed oil to flow to the splitter. I then regulated the splitter at its own valve, but had no place to connect the return line, so simply stuck it into the reservoir fill hole. That worked ok, but I did notice that if I overextended the splitter either up or down, it would kick the tractor hydraulic valve off. I simply reset it to "flow", and continued my work. I supposed that to be a overstress safety system.
I found a "plug" on top the rear case, (about 1" in diameter)about 5" to the left and below the filler cap.. It takes a 1/2" drive ratchet to remove it. I wonder if I couldn't build an adapter there to accept the return oil ?....Then I saw your post advice to buy a part from JD to return oil. so am a bit undecided on what to do. I'm kinda cheap, so wil probably look closely at using the "plugged hole".
.I recently acquired this old tractor, so am working the "bugs" out of it and learning as I go. I have been having another problem. When I am working the tractor hard with a brush hog, it will just quit on me. After a 15 minute wait, it will start up and work some more, but then will quit again. The dash lights don't come on until I wait it out, so some sort of a timed delay. I think that I've tracked the problem to a 20 amp circuit breaker in the main electrical feed line from the coil to the ignition switch. I had it out and cleaned dirt and grime off it and thought I had it fixed until it happened again 3 times yesterday. I finally got disgusted and jumpered the fuse so I could get it home from the "back 40". Today, I plan to go to an auto parts store and get a replacement thinking that mine may be old and weak. I see where Bussman makes a 25 amp one, so think I'll try that. Any othernthoughts?
