How much pressure by hand is needed to operate a well working factory hydraulic lift on a 1450? Mine seems overly difficult, but having never operated another cub with hyd lift maybe I’m wrong. To get the valve to open/engage I have to put probably 30-40lbs of force on the handle.
A little background on the tractor:
It is a 1450 with power steering out of a 3000 series. So I did move the mounting position of the lift valve a bit- perhaps I got geometry messed up with linkage but it seems like more than that.
Also the pump relief pressure was shimmed up to about 900.
Has as a loader that is also running off the tractors pump, these valves move extremely easy.
I think that’s all the background information needed, but my main question is-how do I make this easier aside from making my lift handle longer. Do these valves get sticky over time and need to be rebuilt?
