560 Rear Hydraulics - How Do They Work??

Posted by Robert Searcy on October 18, 2004 at 08:28:48 from (208.24.179.29):

K Fellas, This is a question for my Dad and I. We had a 400 Farmall, It was destroyed in a Tornado this spring along with the Farm. We bought a 560 Diesel for a replacement.

The Drawbar Hydraulics on the 400 had two cylinders on it. One under the belly that served as a tilt type effect and then one in the back like the 560 the moves the drawbar up and down.

Dad is getting ready to plow the gardens and we noticed the 560 has no second cylinder under the belly.

The 400 had a pin you pulled from a shaft that ran vertical on the right rear of the tractor to let the plow float. The 560 does not. The Hydraulics on the 400 had down pressure on the drawbar when the pin was in. You could press the drawbar down and actually lift the rear tires completely off the ground. The 560 will not go this low nor will it give down pressure.

The 560 does not seem to work that way and the drawbar does not go all the way to the ground like the 400. I noticed a large spring loaded lever on the left side of the drivers seat that has 4 positions on it on the 560. It appears to have something to do with the drawbar but it did not seem to have anything to do with how high or low the drawbar went up and down. Is there any way to get down pressure on the 560?? What does a guy need to do when plowing?? Is there something that allows the drawbar to float like pulling the pin on the 400??

Very Confused, Thanks in advance...........

We sure miss the 400 drawbar capabilities!!!
