Note, I left the 1/4" thick cover on the valve, so I just added. 200" measurement is obtained from the end of the control valve to the face of the lift cylinder housing for both types of adjustment. These two adjustments must be made in this order. But the draft control lever will be in two different positions. The two positions of the draft control lever affect the control valve adjustment.Īgain, the same measurement on the control valve is required for both adjustments. But two different linkages are being adjusted with the draft control lever in two different positions. 200" measurement from the end of the control valve to the lift cylinder face. It is important that the lift control lever is placed in the correct position when checking or making the linkage adjustments.īoth lift linkage adjustments require the same. Draft Control, Position Control linkage adjustments and Flow Control Valve Cam Follower adjustment. Also, make sure that your draft control system moves freely. If the cam is badly worn, build it up with weld and grind it back to near original. Also there is a cam follower pin (dowel) that gets badly worn from riding on a cam for many years. There are three adjustments that must be done in the correct order. Fix lift control lever & draft control lever. Even if it did not work, I would only be out the time. Since I needed the tractor by the weekend to do more mowing at the hunting club, I decided to give adjustments a try. When I told him about my lift not going all the way up, he told me that most often if the lift will lift at all, the limited travel was most likely an adjustment issue. I made up an order online and then called Walt to verify fit on some of the parts. So, I did order a few from the other site. They do have access to many individual parts, but I did not find all of the bushings I needed on their site. Walt's site is pretty easy to use and they package many parts in kits which makes it much easier to order. I had ordered parts and manuals for my tractor from Walt many years ago, but had forgotten the name and had lost his web address. I first tried However, on this site, I was having to look up individual part, seal and O-ring. Next fun topic: I can't find a symmetric set of holes in the sway bars that works with my iMatch.Since we had not found the specific problem, I looked on the interweb for a kit to replace all the seals in the lift. (subsequent uploads have pictures in reverse order?) You can see that clearer in the 1st picture. Looks like on yours you've precisions adjusted that way out of the picture. This kept them from hitting the toplink holder. Note also that I flopped the valves on the top link cylinder so they are away from the tractor. Sound like you can play with this to get 2-3 more inches, but you might want to check and be sure you aren't too far out. The tech manual refers to the adjustment for the lift arms feedback, and says that the primary goal is to be sure the hydraulic system does not go into relief when the hitch is raised all the way to the top. All the way up keeps all implements from hitting the ground all the places I go with them. I didn't really think through the adjustments other than having things at the mid point, and by the time I ordered my side link I had used the MX6 and boxblade and the heights were fine. So, I think the side links on both of our tractors are adjusted to about the same lenght. 625 inches up from the bottom, which would probably have given me 9" up from the ground at the end of the lift arms. I didn't know when I gave the spec to CCM to make the cylinder that it would be that tight, and in retrospect would have shot for. ![]() If you look at the hydraulic side cylinder in my 2nd pix, you see that the hole in it is very near the bottom- in fact, there is only about 3/8" of metal there. This then gave me the middle-of-the-whole to middle-of-the-hole length for the hydraulic side cylinder. You can see the threads in your picture, they are out by about the same amount.Īs part of coming up with the length of the side cylinder on the TnT, I first adjusted both lift arms to their midpoint. 8 inches (on each end, you can only see the top end in the pix). If you look at the adjustable link, the threads are out about. I found one picture (2nd picture) I took when the TnT was new, pre-iMatch install, when the land plane was on the hitch.
