1450 hydraulic delete
 

Just joined and not sure if this is where to post a question or not, moderators feel free to change to the right forum if I got it wrong.

I'm building a 1450 into a crawler. To do it the way I wanted I had to remove the rockshaft and since it won't have a blade I don't want the hydraulics.

I don't know if just putting a plug in the place of the original lines will hurt the hydro drive unit, don't want to hurt anything when deleting the outputs. Can any one tell me if this, plugging the outputs will cause a problem, please?

First welcome to OCC.
Don't plug the outlet!! you will be bumping on the pressure relief valve causing excessive heat.
Make a nice "U" shaped 3/8" line connecting the outlet fitting with the return line.
You might have to be careful that you don't get too close to the flex joint/driveshaft.
But since this is not a normal tractor, we don't know what your configuration will be.:bigthink:

Another thing to consider is a hydro unit from a 682, 1810, 1210, or other manual lift tractor without the ports.

Will that steal power? Constantly bleeding off pressure :bigthink:

NO.......It is a normal loop circuit.

Thank You! That is what I need to know. It was my first thought but wanted to be sure, since I already had the plugs. I'll need to maybe move my cutting/turning brake levers but that location isn't set in stone yet.

Also, thanks the rest of you that answered If any one is interested I have some bad cell phone pictures of what I've been doing. This is something I have wanted to do for years, since back in the 1960s when I saw the Struck Track ads in the magazines.

Let's see 'em! :beerchug:

Does the spool valve bypass when not being actuated? I assumed fluid only moved when you were opening a spool.

In a nut shell:
Open center hyd. systems are flowing oil all the time during operation.
a spool directs the oil to do work when actuated, and the pressure rises,
otherwise it is just circulating oil under little pressure.

A closed center system uses a variable displacement pump.
When a spool is moved it causes the pump to pump oil to do the work.

The parasitic draw of a open system is minimal when the oil is just circulating with no pressure to speak of. :bigthink:

I didn't realize these were open center. It makes sense for the PS models :bigthink:
