This is the '63 806 International that I've been pestering everybody about for a few weeks now.
I'm trying to get some haying done. The hydraulic remotes just didn't seem to have enough power to raise up the bailer. Sometimes, I could get the tailgate up after a minute or so.
Took the tractor back to my shop and changed the hyd filter and replaced the fluid. The fluid was pretty dark. The filter had a bunch of snot on it- globs of something. Almost looks like globs of grease- I dunno. But it looked bad.
Anyway, new filter and 20gals new fluid and I put it all together, hook up to the bailer- same problem! I got my neighbor to come over and bail the rest of the field.
Oh- I forgot to mention the hassles I've been having with this MF 560 bailer. It clogs up VERY easily. So- my bailer had about 1/2 a bale in it and had clogged. I couldn't open it up cuz my hydraulics were down.
So- we hook up to the neighbor's JD 4020. Of course, its hyd fittings are different. I run back to the shop and get some JD couplings and we install them on the bailer's hoses.
We open the bailer from his tractor just fine. Then, he notices something. There is an oily, bent dime coin sitting where we were changing fittings. It has been dished out like...sorta like the ball in a hyd fitting would do!! WEIRD
I install my IHC fitting, hook up to my tractor, and voila, it works great!.
So- it seems like this dime must have been placed in the hyd coupler by the former owner (I got it last year), probably on the downside to prevent it leaking down too fast? Or some very clever sabotage!
Anyway- that is quite a mystery. But the hydraulics seem ok now. For the new problem, I'll make a new post.
