After removing the cap (right hand front corner of hydraulic top cover) and then pulling out the stand pipe, it is just a case of fastening the bracket to the tractor with some pins and then another pin through to connect to the end of the draft control spring, then fasten a long handle to the studs that hold the seat in position and then the top cover can be flipped over. The advantage of this is the one man operation and also the handle doubles up as a stand so the top cover is just flipped over backwards and sits there nicely inverted to work on. Hope that made sense? Other people sometimes just use a chain pulley supported from a suitably robust rafter or an engine crane to help lift off the top cover, but then the cover is to turn upside down in order to work on it. Hope that made sense. Steve Ridsdale (Vintage Tractor Engineer) Hi Dean,

I ordered one of your DVD's. My address is in the U.S., are we square on the shipping costs? If you got a moment, can you go ahead and tell me what the trick to flipping the top cover off is? I just unbolted the cover and set it aside, but that was about as heavy as I care to pick up. Thanks, Dean Hey. I ordered one of your DVD’s.

If you remove the inspection plate on the RHside of the transmission casing you can see the control valve actuating lever and the roller. If you then have the engine running it is possible to move this lever (using a metal bar) and actuate the pump. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS INSIDE WHILST THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL. If this raises the lift arms then you have done something wrong with the linkage system. Steve.
