Hydraulics Help

Postby Ampete » Thu Mar 25, 2010 7:34 pm

Hi all,
Just bought a complete set of hydraulics to put on my 48' Cub. It came with the pump, hydraulic unit, lines, rockshaft and control lever. The parts came off of a 1977 Cub. The rockshaft is of the type that uses the helper spring. Do I need to have the helper spring or can I use it without it? I've looked all over for pictures and I can't see where the other end of the helper spring connects to the tractor and I haven't really seen one for sale. Is this spring only used with a Fast Hitch or the rear rockshaft unit?
I just ordered a set of gaskets and o-rings for the unit and hopefully I will be installing it this weekend. Anything I should know as I install it?
Also, I can't find a part number on the hydraulic unit just 3 7 A on the side. Does anybody know what part number was used on a 1977 Cub?
I will be using it with a 54 blade.
Thank you all in advance for any help you can give,
Andy

Andy, the part number for your TC should be directly under the cast code.

Both of mine are under the hood on the front. I think it may be a case of early versus late, with the late being on the end.

Andy, you don't need the helper spring(used for fast hitch). It'll work without it. Here's a link from TM showing where the other end connects: http://www.tmtractor.com/new/dr/2473fp.htm

Rick:

Does that mean I can mount my fast hitch without the upgraded helper spring capable rockshaft?

Rudi - yes you can but if you find later that you need the helper spring (and you almost always will find a need for it) you will have to change it out to upgrade. It shouldn't be hard to find the later rockshaft.

Don't forget to get the correct pillow blocks for the newer rockshaft. Don't ask how I know.

Thank you all for the help. I got my gaskets in the mail yesterday and the hydraulics are going on today.
