Ford 10 series loader hydraulics

[multi power]

Seeing as yours has no filler pipe, my guess is someone has bodged something up either to fill the backend with oil easily, or a return pipe for oil to go back to the back end.

Return pipe I'd say

I'll have to have a better look at it and try to work out if the tap is on the flow or return. The thing on the left is like a plug on a chain with a flat face coupler behind it. I'll put a better picture on after I've fed the kids.

Plug with a chain on the flat face coupler will be trailer brakes. The home made tap thing will be a return pipe.

Thanks, thats some more mysteries solved. On the partly chopped off picture top left, is number 2 a foot throttle?
I have this in my cab but it doesn't currently seem to be connected to anything and is on my list for further investigation.

Yes.

Is your foot throttle like the one in the picture or just a plunger through the floor? If its a plunger it may just want lifting up and a quarter turn to re engage, otherwise prob a cable problem.

for the return pipe, there is a port half way up the filler neck, however you need to be careful, sometimes the flow can blow the filler cap out......what i have done before is take the big banjo bolt out down the bottom of the neck, drill and tap it and put the return pipe right in there

As others have said I'd go for using the existing in cab spools and disable the detent mechanisms. They are a total pain when using a loader and can be dangerous as you have to push back to centre rather than just letting go. As regards the single acting lift I'd put the single pipe in the top LH connector then run a short pipe from the lower connector to your existing return. This will stop you blowing off the relief valve when lowering or having to go all the way through to float which won't be very controllable. On Fergies it's easy to make a slice one way by undoing a screw and you used to be able to do it on the under seat spools on earlier Fords but that isn't any help to you.

We had a steelfab loader on a 6610 and a 7610 in the past and plumbed into spool for feed and put return into side of filling pipe.there was a port on side of pipe for this

Sorry for very late reply just picked up on this thread by any chance have you a pic where you have plumbed in for feed on spools not sure If I’m going to have the right spot thanks

Hi. Just ended up using the rear remotes as suggested and its worked a treat. Pity the gearbox has now packed up.
Such is life lol.

No photo but stick feed pipe in bottom spool and pull back spool lever in cab and adjust till it stays locked in.put return into filling pipe on back of tractor.this must be a free flow return.if there is nowhere to fix return get a local engineer to make one for you

I’m just wondering I need 3rd service have a valve chest with 3 cable levers where do I cut in on system to feed chest? And would the dump back in on filler neck be ok
