DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Tractors with four wheel drive may be fitted with an
engine driven P.T.O. (1) and double acting front
hydraulic lift system (2).
If required the front hydraulic lift assembly can be
supplied without the front P.T.O. option.
Both systems operate independently.

2
Front Hydraulic Lift
The front hydraulic lift consists of an adjustable top
link (1) and a pair of folding lower links (2 and 3). The
top and lower links have open claws that permit rapid
coupling and uncoupling of implements. The claws
are equipped with self locking latches to ensure
positive retention of the tractor linkage to the
implement.
Two double acting hydraulic cylinders are used to
raise and lower the hydraulic lift.

3
The front lift may be operated through either a
standard rear remote valve which directs oil flow to
the front hydraulic lift and is controlled by the remote
valve levers.

or

4
By a dedicated mid mounted twin spool remote valve
located beneath the right hand side of the cab floor
and controlled by the in cab joystick.

Front P.T.O.
The electro hydraulically operated front P.T.O. (1) is
mounted directly below the front support and driven
from the engine crankshaft pulley.
The assembly can be supplied with either a 6 or 21
spline shaft.

7
The front P.T.O. is operated by pressing the knob (2)
and pulling up the collar (3). The light (1) illuminates
when the P.T.O. is operating.

8
NOTE: When the engine is stopped or stalls, the
P.T.O. will automatically disengage. However, the
selector knob must be returned manually to the ‘off’
position (fully down) otherwise the P.T.O. will not
engage when the engine is restarted.
WARNING
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
disengage the P.T.O. after each use.

6 – 66000 – 06 – 2002
6 SECTION 6011 – POWER TRAIN

Drive from the engine crankshaft pulley to the input

shaft (1) is transmitted to the output shaft (4) using
a multiplate hydraulic clutch.
The clutch is engaged using the solenoid valve (7)
and is applied using 16–18bar low pressure oil
through port (6).
Beneath the cover plate (3) are two gear pumps
which provide lubrication and return excess oil to
reservoir through port (5).

9
Pump (1) referred to as the scavenger pump,
maintains a predetermined reservoir of oil in the
P.T.O. housing for pump (2) which provides
lubrication to the bearings and seals in the assembly

10
P.T.O. Engaged
When the P.T.O. is engaged, Figure 11 the solenoid
is energised and 24bar low pressure circuit oil is
applied to the clutch piston through orifice (3).
Because the check valve in orifice (13) is held in the
closed position the pressure applied to the clutch is
gradual and prevents sudden shock engagement of
the P.T.O.

P.T.O. Disengaged
When the PTO is disengaged, Figure 13, power to
the solenoid is switched of and the 24bar oil pressure
is directed to the P.T.O. brake.
Oil pressure previously applied to the rear of the
clutch piston is now open to reservoir and the large
Bellville washer between the piston and the clutch
plates moves the piston rearwards ejecting the oil to
reservoir through orifice (3) and one way check valve
orifice (13). Because the oil can escape through both
orifices the P.T.O. drive is rapidly disengaged.
When the 24bar pressure is applied to the P.T.O.
brake a small controlled flow of oil also flows through
the orifice (1) Figure 12 in the brake piston and into
the main housing of the P.T.O. assembly.
This controlled leakage maintains a reservoir of oil in
the bottom of the housing for lubricating the P.T.O.
bearings and seals using the lubrication pump.
The pressure of oil within the lubrication circuit is
maintained at 3.5 bar by the lubrication relief valve
(7) located in the input shaft.

12
Because oil continually flows through the orifice in
the P.T.O. brake it is necessary to control the level of
oil in the housing. When the level of oil in the bottom
of the housing is higher than the bottom of the suction
tube (11), the excess oil is returned to reservoir by the
’scavenger’ pump.
