My 160 recently developed a leak at the shaft of this adjustment knob below. It leaks while the 3 point lift is raising. Is there an o-ring or gasket in there. Tim   ------------- 2-B's,CA,D15,D17,160,2-185's 8010 |

Started to get into the valve yesterday. How do you remove that block? I ordered a manual for it. ------------- 2-B's,CA,D15,D17,160,2-185's 8010 |

Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a screw in plug in here? It started leaking when lifting the three point up. Looks to be a major undertaking to get this valve off. Tim  ------------- 2-B's,CA,D15,D17,160,2-185's 8010 |

Yes, there is supposed to be a screw in plug in that hole. Picture is dim, but looks to me a plug is there. Is the oil squirting out at pressure from there? If it just fell out, replace it, maybe it is that simple. I bet it is metric. However, your very first post says the knob had a leak. But the seat was blocking your view. There is an o-ring on the knob. And the entire knob will come out by using item #1 hex flats. The valve block is back bolted to that bulkhead plate. If you unbolt the plate, you get into a "mess" of pinned links and rods and stuff. You will be looking at the top of the hydraulic piston. One farmer around here has a 160, he gave up trying to get the 3pt working right, removed the arms and links. Just uses the draw bar. But his rear remote outlet still works. |

The plug appears to missing. The oil definitely is coming out of that hole. Just got the service manual and it looks vague on taking off that block. Shows a couple of O-rings. I'll have to take the block off to really see what there or not there. I don't want to open a bigger can of worms, but it leaks a lot. I mostly rake with the tractor but do move balls and shred a little. Tim ------------- 2-B's,CA,D15,D17,160,2-185's 8010 |

Curious, I looked at mine again, flashlight and mirror time. Not so sure it is a screw plug. It looks bright color, like die cast or zinc. May have a weep hole. Can't see hex for an Allen key. Maybe it is press in. Good luck. |
