John Deere 630 Custom Powr-Trol Leaking

[LDPosse]

This past weekend, I installed a 2 valve custom powr-trol valve and model 48 loader on my 1959 John Deere 630. I have one unresolved issue - the adapter between the powr-trol unit and the two lines that go up and around the seat is leaking where it bolts to the powr-trol valve.

I took the complete powr-trol to the local deere dealer, and they sold me the parts they thought I needed. They gave me part #12B. I am wondering if they should have sold me #12A.

So I have two questions -

1) Since I have a leak, do I need to use part 12A? Is it possible to seal it with RTV instead of ripping the entire powr-trol valve back off of the tractor?

2) Are there any tips or tricks for getting the lines that go around the seat disconnected? I had quite a difficult time getting the steel lines around the seat installed in the first place, I m not too keen on the fact I have to do that part of the job again.

The setup is functioning for now, but I don t want to constantly have to add oil to it.

Thanks!

I think you need part 12a.


RTV may work, but remember you are working with a pressure line (s). RTV may just mean you do it a 3rd time... sorry.

You wouldn't happen to have any helpful tidbits for getting this thing off and back together? That top line especially, is a real bear trying to work with due to how close it is positioned to the curve of the rockshaft housing.
