Yipee! No mess!
I finally installed the pump and lines of Barney's TC system. and finally got it filled and ready for work without making a mess. This is first! It's really hard to get the fluid into the system neatly, but after many tries on other Cubs, I finally did it on this one.
The problem is caused by the location of the filler and the inability to see how the fill is progressing. I'm sure there must be hi tech solutions such as pumps. etc., but because of my cheap nature I don't have such equipment. I used an empty reducer can and a little work to create a solution that others may find useful.
As any who who have been there can testify, the first indication that it's full is fluid escaping, and that can cause a real mess... especially on a freshly painted tractor. After cycling the system it's necessary to repeat the process.
So here's how it went. A piece of paper taped to the block just below the filler plug diverted the overflow to the drain pan placed on the floor below.
I was tired of messing with funnels that don't really fit the awkward location of the filler, and don't have a dedicated pump to use, so I improvised.
The improvised tool was free, except for a little work. It's a reducer can with a shop made fitting soldered to it to adapt a piece of tubing. In use it can be manipulated to control the flow of fluid already transferred from the original container by paying attention to gravity and venting the cap. I found it helpful to use one of my shop gurneys to hold the tool while it is draining. That nasty overflow that has in the past made for a lot of cleanup was avoided.
I'm happy to say the freshly rebuilt unit seems to work just fine.

Very Nice George
But If the system holds 1 1/4 quarts why not just pre-measure it before hand?
I know thats just in the Touch Control what about the rest of the system all togrther what does it hold?
Anyone know?
Good Job on the Machine
Did you get a patent number?

TF,
This Cub is Barney, a '48 that never had a touch control before, so this is a first for him. It's my intention to mount a set of cultivators... using the TC for the front tool bars and the manual lift for the rear section. That way I can use both sets all the way to the end of the row.
I plan to add a stop so the manual lever doesn't come forward too far.

Hey George...What a GREAT SOLUTION!!! Just "SHOWS TA GO YA" that old age and thinkin' bout the problem beats youth's rush right in an GIT-R-DONE!
BARNEY may be the FIRST CUB anywhere to have BOTH lift systems installed on him!
