What is amazing to me is how they engineered all that stuff to fit in that little square area. Back in those days there was no CAD, you had to figure it out and make a blue print then someone had to machine the parts on manual machines and some parts could be done on a screw machine. Real craftsmen made these old tractors.
Lance, your videos are so good for all your Ferguson friends. I always like to see them. Go ahead and stay tuned with the great videos. We love you all, have a nice day.
Very helpful. Amazing how they did things in the old days. And those things still work today. Thank you for this wonderful video because there's not a lot of material like this out there.
''One hit is worth 40 taps''. That made me laugh. My tractor has the older pump so it's interesting to see how they differ. Another great video Lance. Thanks for sharing
Hi Lance! I really enjoy your videos, always a treat! At about 2.40 above the control valve, that's a check valve and not the relief valve. The relief valve is in the top cover on the left side of the seat. This was introduced on the later models along with O-rings on the pump cylinder housings and for the lift cylinder. If you add a "normal" relief valve without deleting/plugging the one in the top cover you'll end up with two - no biggie but if one starts to leak you won't know which one! 😅 I'd like to see a video on adjusting the top cover relief valve using shims (it's in the L-chapter in the service manual). Thanks again for sharing your wisdom with the world!
Thanks for the video. I used it today to tear down my Ferguson pump. I've got a bastard tractor. Ford 8n with a Ferguson rear end. I found the control valve stuck and had to hammer it out with a punch. Mine has the long shaft like in here. I could not separate them. I see images on the parts pages of the control valve but not the long part that goes to the front of the pump. Are they two pieces?
Hi, your videos have been a great help! Im having an issue woth my hydraulics where they lift fine, but get stuck at the top. A little weight/leverage on them and they go down, but seem to get stuck again three quarters of the way down. I cleaned out the old oil, it was gungy, and cleaned it out with diesel, but its still sticking. Is it the control valve do you know?
Are the arms moving freely in the housing without the tractor running, as in can you lift them by hand without an implement on? You may be able to try loosening the bolts on the end of the main lift shaft and work some lube in there.
I followed your removing the pump and leaving the lift cover on and removed the clip through the drain hole to detach it from the lift arm levers and this worked fine but still had trouble getting the pump out but when i had it on the bench i found that the rod that is attached to the valve had retracted into the valve housing by about half an inch and now it will not move and the valve assembly will not come out or move at all,have you any ideas as what has happened and how to get over this problem and have you come across this before?
Thank you again Lance for another "you make it look so simple tutorial video".
My pleasure!

Yeah I agree, all drawn up with a pencil then made a few for testing I suppose.
Great video Lance, always easy to understand what you are doing!
I appreciate that!

Glad you like them!

Thanks for watching.
Hello Lance,
As always nicely explained... Hopefully see you on the Stew next week...
Cheers.
Paul,,
Hope so
Excellent video Lance . Certainly an upgrade on the 1947 model !!!.
Yes indeed!
I love that super honest "Shit that's tight" haha! Fantastic video as always Bundy! Thank you brother!
Thanks for watching.

Yeah it is on the later tractors for sure.
These hydraulic videos are great.
Glad you like them.
Happy to see this vid! the low pressure on my 58 Fergie, wondering what to do with it.
You could try replacing the stand pipe o rings and the piston rings and see if that helps before working on the pump.
Lance looks like 8n Ford or earlier just had to rebuild it good work old man
Thanks.

Yes the long part should come out of the old valve.

Not a problem I have had, if it is the later pump it may have the square oscilating rod that has gotten stuck.
Got my hydraulic pump out and rebuilt but it won't go back in. How do you get the pump back in, it just doesn't fit? 😒
Im not sure why it wont fit, not a problem I have had.
I just rebuilt a pump because it wouldn’t lift put it back it will lift now but won’t go back down it’s like the pump just keeps pumping up and advise
Yous control valve is not working properly
Kako i gdje mogu da nadjem ovaj deo pumpe metalni,u mojoj drzavi nemogu nigdje da nadjem?
Look up Sparex and see if they have a dealer or else you may need to import it from the UK.
Hey Lance I have a Massey 35 , lift works good enough with no weight but barley works with any subsstancal Load ? Any idea what it could be ??
Check the o rings on the stand pipe, under the hump with 2 bolts on the front right.
Please show how to install the lift cover!
Coming up in a week or so hopefully.
at 4.54 get a hammer not a toffy snapper
Gasket hammer that one, lol.
