Argghhh..... Please tell me it"s just air in the system and it will work it"s way out.
Finally pulled the starter rod on my Super C last night after months of work. It was a happy moment to hear it run again, except to my surprise the hydraulics are not working. This project started with a leaky radiator, months later and countless hours later of preparation, paint is dry and ready to put the wheels back on.
Of all the things I disassembled, fixed, and re-assembled, to many to list here, you guys know the deal, the hydraulics were the least of my worries upon startup, because all I did was disconnect the FastHitch hydraulic lines. Already rebuilt the hydro pump last fall with new O-rings 'cause it was leaking into the crankcase. Drained and refilled the whole system and cleaned the screen as well last fall. All was functioning just fine when I shut it off before this project started.
I topped off the hydraulic fluid, been using Case/IH Hy-Tran. I worked the levers, both the TouchControl and the remote FastHitch cylinder lever back and forth a bunch of times. Took the TouchControl hydro unit filler plug out during all this hoping to see some fluid movement and/or let any air in the hydro unit escape, nothing.
I greased all the TouchControl arms before painting because I didn"t want the paint to get in-between them and bind them up.
I"m at a loss for all I disconnected was the remote FastHitch lines and the rods from the TouchControl levers. The hydro unit, pump, and metal tubes to/from pump to hydro unit remained intact during all this.
I"ll try it again tonight and hope it"s air stuck in the system, but anything else I can try or check?
