Massey Ferguson hydraulic diverted valve

[Timo@hattonfarms]

I'm after fitting one to run a spool block on our tafe 45, my question is when its diverted oil too the spool block will the arms float or are they locked into place? I've been told that in one position the arms lift to the top ie if running a loader. Tia Tim

If you take the feed from one of the port 1 the arms will raise but not lower. In port 2 they will be locked wherever they are. Ports 1 were feeds to loader rams and the link arms raised every time the pump reached constant pumping to carry a weight block

Thanks for the that, is there a way of getting a feed to a spool block and having the arms locked or at the top?

yes use port 2. raise the arms, move the selector valve to 2 and the round quadrant lever to up and the square lever to constant pumping. this will give you a constant flow to spool valves. you will have to periodically move the selector valve to linkage to top the link arms up as they will drop slowly due to leakage.

Dad used to put a chain around the arms under drawbar when tipping trailers wits the 65. don't think there was a diverter valve

When using a loader on the 35/65 most people attached the T- bar auto hitch, this served two purposes:
1. Somewhere to hang the concrete block counterweight,
2. It provided resistance for the linkage arms to force oil up the stack pipe and out the top port to serve the loader.

No need to do this if using the T bar auto hitch.

never had a T bar on the 65, only swinging drawbar, 35 had T bar hitch for carting silage

Surprised you were carrying a tipping trailer on a drawbar.
Dangerous thing to do.

5 ton of stones in tipping trailer, dad carted thousands of tons of them, never any trouble

i do agree hitch far better

It's most dangerous if the tractor drawbar should break when tipping- because the trailer drawbar will raise, and if the trailer then slides forward the drawbar can end up in the cab injuring the driver.
This can also happen if the ring or hook is worn on a proper trailer hitch.

Total newbie here!
I came across this thread while searching for a possible answer to a question about the diverter valve shown above.
I am a new owner of a Massey Ferguson 20D, no history of tractor ownership before this.
Question is..
Would it be possible to run a log splitter from this valve, there is the no2 auxillary outlet on the rear of my tractor,
is the R on the diverter valve a return port?
Therefore could I fir a return for the splitter to thr R port to give a constant flow?
Any advice would be most welcome and appreciated.
Many thanks PAP

yes that will be fine. You will need to select ext2 on your valve and then move the round quadrant lever to up and the square quadrant lever to constant pumping. Connect a return like to the R port

Thank you MF-ANDY for your reply.
I shall give that a try.

In the hope that this thread is still live... I'm a newbie owner of a MF135 with a front loader and I'm unsure of the correct way to operate it. With the diverter valve switched Ext 2 and the Quadrant on constant pump, moving my aux valve lever back raises the loader but also raises the linkage arms - is that right?

You will need to chain your link arms up else they will raise when you raise the loader and lower when you aren't raising the loader

 

[ollydog]

Ok thanks. Does that mean that i need to adjust the chains to stop the link and rising above a certain point? Or stop them moving at all?

 

[MF-ANDY]

Just chain them as high as you can then you wont have any delay in the loader lifting while the link are raising. If you piped into port 1 of the selector valve the link arms would stay up on their own.

Ok, thanks for your help.
