Farmall 230 Hydraulics Question

[C. Amick]

I have seen some 230's with 2 sets of hydraulic hookups, one on each side of the tractor. These hookups are at the hydraulic unit that replaced the touch control unit. The set on the right side of the tractor controls the fast hitch, if equipped. I don't see another lever to control the hookups on the left side of the tractor. Does the one lever control both sets of hookups?

I thought the 230s had a pair of hydraulic control levers that were in the same location and looked a whole lot like the Touch-Control levers on the earlier models.

From the description it looks like they could be equipped with either a single or double valve. I didn’t check PNs but the valve sections look very similar to those used on the 3..400, 3..450 tractors.

Looking at the diagram you posted, it seems to show a separate control rod for each valve. I will find another photo of the tractor to see if I can see a second control rod.

Yes, you are correct. After looking again at the photos of the tractor that I saw for sale, it still has the same hydraulic control levers that were on the tractors with the touch control unit. Thanks.
