 The hydraulic lift controls can be used to control the
three point hitch mounted implements in the following
three ways:

1. Positional Control - This permits the operator to

select the position, either in or out of the ground, at
which the implement will run. The lift position is
selected by the position of the lift control lever in its
quadrant. The movement of the lift and the imple-
ment is proportional to the movement of the control
lever.

Position control is used for grader blades, scrap-

ers, drills, cutters, and any other carried imple-
ments; that is, implements without gauge wheels
or other means of resting on the ground during
operation.

To place the lift in position control, do the following;

A. Raise the hydraulic lift to full height using the
hydraulic lift control lever.

To use the full float position:

A. Set the controls for position control.

B. Move the controlleverto its' lowest position (See

Fig. 18)

3. Draft Control - In this position the upper link

sensing system is activated to automatically vary
the height of the implement to maintain approxi-
mately the same draft (pull) at all times.

To place the lift in the draft control mode :

A. Raise the implement to full transport height by

raising the control lever completely.

lowered, the deeper the implement will pen-

When the desired depth, or draft, has been met,
move the control lever stop against the control
lever so that the same operating position can be
returned to after raising the lift for turns or trans-
port.

E. After the operating height has been selected,

while the implement is still working, adjust the
sensitivity lever forward to obtain maximum re-
sponsiveness to draft changes without unneces-
sary movement, or "hunting" of the lift. (See Fig.

To disengage the independent PTO, raise the PTO
clutch lever, shift the PTO control lever back to the
center or (neutral) position and lower the clutch lever.
The PTO control lever should be kept in the neutral
position at all times when the PTO is not in use.

NOTE: The PTO clutch must be kept in the engaged or

(down) position at all times, except when the PTO
control lever is being shifted . Failure to follow these
guidelines can result in clutch and engine damage.

When heavy PTO requirements are encountered in the

field during operation, the clutch pedal may be de-
pressed to stop the motion of the tractor, without
affecting the operation of the independent PTO. This
allows the tractor to be stopped so that the PTO driven
implement can clear itself of the overload. The main
clutch however, should not be "ridden" or held partially
at a disengaged position to slow the tractor's ground

disengage the ground sychronous PTO, stop the trac-
tor, depress the clutch pedal and shift the control back

PTO OPERATING HINTS

1. When attaching a pto driven implement to the

tractor, be sure that the tractor engine is not
running, the gear and range selector levers are in
neutral, the parking brake engaged, and the PTO
is disengaged. This will allow the PTO shaft to be
turned by hand when attaching the implement to
the tractor.

2. Always start the job in a low gear, to avoid over-

loading the tractor or the implement. You can
always shift up if conditions permit.

3. Set the engine speed so that the PTO driven

implement is driven at the standard PTO RPM.
(2160 engine RPM for 540 PTO RPM).

4. If the tractor beings to lug, or a tough spot is

encountered, depress the clutch to stop the tractor
while the implement clears itself.

ENGINE OIL

Check the engine oil level every 10 hours or at least

daily. It is recommended that the oil level be checked
at the Beginning of a work day prior to starting the
engine while it is cold.

If the engine has been running, shut the engine off and
wait at least 30 minutes before you check the oil to
allow for the oil to drain down so as to get an accurate
reading. If the engine is not completely warmed, wait
longer.

installing a new one.
CHANGING OIL AND FILTEA
Refer to the lubrication chart for type and quality of the
oil to be used for a specific application.
On a new tractor, change the oil and filter after the first
60 hours of operation. The engine oil is drained from
the plug in the center of the oil sump cover plate on the
bottom of the engine. Oil should be drained when the
engine is somewhere between hot and warm as this COOLING SYSTEM
lets the oil drain better. (item #3 Fig. 44)

In areas where antifreeze is not needed for protection

against freezing, it is recommended that a solution of at
least 33% antifreeze be used to prevent rust and
corrosion within the cooling system.

SECONDARY FUEL FILTER (Ref. Fig. 59)

Every year the secondary fuel filter element should be

changed. This should be done at the same time as the
primary filter change is done. Shorten, if necessary, the
change interval on either filter so that they can be
changed together whenever the secondary fuel filter is
due to be changed. Use the same procedure as for
changing the primary filter.

NOTE: make certain that you try to keep the change

LUBRICATION

LUBRICATION After every 60 hours, lubricate the tie rod ends and
steering cylinders ends. There are a total of 4 fittings .
This section will show diagrams indicating certain
points on the tractor that should be lubricated or greased
at the regularintervals indicated in the Lubrication and
Service Guide. These point must not be over-looked as
doing so will casue pre-mature ware on certain parts of
the tractor.

This section is designed as a quick reference tool to

help you locate grease fittings and other items that
should be maintenanced regularly. If you have any
questions concerning where you should lubricate cer-
tain parts of the tractor contact your local Long dealer
for service.

Lubricate the following locations at the time intervals

indicated with a multi-purpose grease. Be sure to clean
the grease fittings before and after greasing.

After every· 60 hours of operation, lubricate the front

axle pivot, and both of the universal joints on the front
drive shaft. There are three fittings. Also, after every 60
hours of service, lubricate the front axle kingpins. (Not
shown). There are four fittings.

Fig. 75 - Universal Joint, Front Drive Axle

After every 120 hours of operation, check the oil level

in the front axle housing. The oil should be level with the
bottom of the filter hole. Add oil as necessary. Refer to
the lubrication guide fro the proper type and quantity of
the oil used.
Fig. 73- Front Drive Steering Knuckle Pivot
After every 120 hours of operation, remove the center
plug from the front hubs and check the oil level. The oil
level should be at the bottom of the hole. In a case
where it is low, just add oil as necessary. Refer to the
lubrication guide fro the proper type and quantity of oil.
42
After every 1,000 hours, or at least once per year,
whichever comes first, remove the drain plugs from
both the front axle and hubs. Drain the old oil and refill
with fresh oil.

NOTE: If the front axle is run in deep water or mud, and

especially if the axle is submerged, change the oil to
remove any water contamination.

NOTE: The front wheels must be turned so the drain

plugs in the front hubs are on the bottom.

When changing the transmission oil, be sure to remove

the plug from the front drive reduction gearbox, and
drain the oil from it as well. (Fig. 79)

FUELS

Diesel fuels are classified as either No. 1 or No.2 fuels.

No. 2 diesel fuel is heavier and will produce more work
per gallon and is recommended fortemperatures above
32°F (0°C). No. 1 diesel fuel is lighter and is recom-
mended for temperatures below 32°F (0°C}, because,
at these low temperatures, the waxes in No. 2 diesel
fuel may solidify and clog the fuel injection system.

NOTE: Be sure to use ONLY diesel fuel and not fuel oil,
which is formulated for furnaces. Even though the
petroleum factions are the same, fuel oil contain much

3. Clean all storage tanks at regular intervals.

4. If pumps are used to transfer fuel from storage

tanks to the tractor, keep them covered with dust
proof covers when not in use.

5. When emptying a drum or storage tank, agitate the

fuel as little as possible, and leave approximately
one inch of fuel in the bottom of the tank or drum.
This fuel may contain water and sediment. Fig. n- Fuel Storage Tank
