Faunsdale, AL | There are 4 poppet valves inside the housing that are operated by cams that the lever on the outside rotates. These can be out of adjustment or leaking. The puppets are not too expensive to just replace and the seats in the housing can be cleaned up with a set of stones made special for that purpose. The procedure to adjust is found in the service manual for the tractor or really any JD row crop tractor from the 30 to 60 series would be similar.
However I think you should be running with the lever locked into the down/lower position so minor leakage is not a problem. I don't always do that, just hit the lever every now and then to make sure the down pressure is maintained. | |
