WHERE IS THE FILL PLUG FOR THE 3 POINT HITCH ON A FORDSON DEXTA. BOTH THE GEAR BOX AND REAR FILL PLUGS ARE ON TOP AND IN CLEAR VIEW - CAN'T SEEM TO LOCATE THE PLUG FOR THE HYDRAULICS THOUGH.
ANY IDEAS ?

The rear fill plug is the right one

Wil
The rear end & gear box both have 80/90 gear oil.
Secondary hydraulics usually have HD30 hydraulic oil.There is wetness around the bypass vavle for the 3 pt hitch which is clearly not gear oil. Are there any other plugs besides rear end &
gear box.

Will is right Steve, Dexta hydraulics are fed by the rear axle oil. The hydraulic pump is mounted in the rear axle. The oil in the gearbox and rear axle should be a multipurpose oil which is usually a 20/50w.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was getting tired scratching my head over this one.

There are several ways of doing this. There are hydraulic torque amplifiers that you mount between the steering wheel and column. I've seen these used on tractors and industrial equipment. It would raise the wheel about 4 inches. The pump could be an automotive one that is mounted on the engine. I know that ford used on some tractors an in the linkage valve to operate a booster cylinder that was mounted on the linkage. I think it clamped to the linkage. You had to cut the linkage rod to mount the valve. I believe it was an option that the dealer could install. I think it had some quirks though due to the power only being applied to the one side. The other would be taking the gearbox and linkage rods off and replacing the existing column and box with an orbit valve. Then mount a pair of interconnected cylinders where the linkage rods were on the steering arms and bracket to the case. The bad part is that you do not have any steering unless the engine is running. This is becoming popular with newer equipment.It is simple and quite powerfull. I have a modified version of this on my 5 cubic yard endloader. The factory installed this 40 years ago. This system uses a small(read as cheap$) orbit valve. In this they drive a spool valve with a 1.25 x 2inch cylinder that is controlled by the orbit valve. The spool valve controls the oil from a 45 gallon per minute pump to the twin 5.5 x 20 inch cylinders. The machine is articulated(hinged in the middle) and weighs 65,000LBS loaded. You can steer with one finger at a stand still as easily as you would your car with power steering.
