175 MF loader info needed.

[sam in mo]

My 175 has a bush hog (2400) loader.It is supposed to be a closed center system with power beyond. There is a hose from the left side of the houseing by the power take off lever that goes to the 2 lever loader valve. There is another hose that comes from the aux. valve body and goes to the other lever on the loader that dumps the bucket. There is a hose that comes from the valve levers and goes under the trans. housing to the top left side of the housing and dumps back into the resv.. My question is which two lines do you hook back togather to complete the hyd. circiut when you remove the loader. Thanks for the help. Sam

I have a 175 with a massey loader. Mine runs off of the tractors hydraulics (not a front mounted pump) which sounds like your set up.

If you go to the agco parts page http://www.agcopartsbooks.com/PARTSBOOKSN/Viewer/book.aspx?book=agco/651190&page=357

you will see the PTO set-up for the hydraulic lines. 'You should also be able to find the set up for the control levers.

You didn't say how yours is set up, but my loader has two lines for the bucket but only one for the lift (it is not power down) so I have no fourth line by the remote hydraulic quick fittings.

I"ll try and get a photo of my hydraulics and send it along.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. My loader runs off of a pump in the housing between the trans. and the rear end. Thanks Sam

I always thought the 175 had an open center hydraulic system.

Thanks Bob. I was told when I bought it that it was a closed system. You had to hook the hyd. lines togather when you took loader off or it will damage the hyd. pump. So I guess I need to find out how to tell if it is a closed or open system before I go any futher.Does anyone know how to tell for sure. My system has three lines hooked to the the controlll valve. Thanks Sam

Can you post pictures of this setup?

i think the person that told you a 175 is closed system got his terminologies mixed up ,it's open that's why your fluid has to return the to reservoir when the valves are sitting in neutral
