Tel-A-Depth Manual GSS-1032

There were two different Tel-A-Depth systems: the first used a cable and differential gear arrangement for follow-up linkage. Later systems used a "walking beam" lever system and didn"t have the cable/differential gear system. The version of the manual I have covers the earlier system, my 340U has the later system. My question is whether there ever was an updated version published to cover the later system.

If you"d look at your manual, would you check the published date? At least I"ll know what to look for.

Thanks for the offer to copy that manual for me. Actually I do have the same one you talked about - I didn"t think to look in there for adjustments resetting it up, so I"ll get it out tonight and have a look.

But I appreciate your offer.

Thanks for the tip. A local buddy of mine has that manual and I plan to borrow it from him to copy those pages. Didn"t realize it was in there.

Thanks again

Hope I remember how this thing goes back together. . .

Next time I"ll do the entire tractor all at once, rather than in stages. I"m going to have to do a lot of masking when I paint the back half.

Interesting you have a similar situation, my 340 is an early tractor with the later system as well. I suppose it was retrofitted back in it"s history somewhere. I was hoping to find the appropriate manual pages so that I can make sure the linkages are adjusted optimally.

If you haven"t seen this website I think you"ll find it helpful:

Valve manifold

Actually my valve set-up sounds similar to yours - there are four long bolts that sandwich all the individual valves together.

Anyway, my question to you: When you rebuilt your Hydra-Touch Control Valves, did you remove the valve assembly from the cast body and disassemble it? When I pulled the cast cover off of all of my valves, they were each a third full of thick sludge. I removed the valve assembly from the housing and cleaned everything. But I"ve not been able to get the slotted retainer off of the valve to disassemble it. I thought about cutting a notch in a drag link socket, but wonder if it"s worth the effort. I"m afraid of I "try" too hard I might damage something. Was curious what your experience was with them. Never tried the remote hydraulics but am planning on installing a 1701 loader so I wanted to make sure everything was working properly.

The parts I"m referring to are #15 and #10. Did you open up #10 to inspect/clean all of the internals? I"m having difficulty non-destructively unthreading 15 from 10. Perhaps it"s better left alone . . . .
