Kit For Remote Hydraulic Outlets On Ford New Holland Tractors

Kit For Remote Hydraulic Outlets On Ford New Holland Tractors TRACTORS Accessories 25-1-29 Frankie Purser, 680 Purser Rd., Vanceboro, N.C. 28586 (ph 252 244-0750): "I installed a kit from Ford New Holland on my TW 15 tractor that lets me disconnect the remote hydraulic outlets without having to get off the tractor and use levers. The kit consists of a small Teflon plate with double-sided tape on it. Unfortunately, the first time I used a power washer to clean the tractor the Teflon plate blew off. Oil started leaking out of the outlets and they also became exposed to dust and moisture, etc. The only way to cover the remotes is to buy new lever-less remote outlet housings from the company that sell for $250 to $275 apiece. "I solved the problem on my own using a 1 by 1 1/2-in. piece of aluminum flat bar that's 1/8 in. thick. I drilled a hole in the middle of the bar and threaded it to accept a 8/32-in. machine screw, which I inserted through the original housing that held the lever. I put high temperature silicone around the plate and a little on the threads of the machine screw to form a seal. I haven't had any problems since I installed it. I think this idea would work on all 10 and 30 series New Holland tractors equipped with remote lever systems."
