LOW PRESSURE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS

175 and 190 Model Tractors with Power


Command Transmission
The low pressure hydraulic circuit for tractors with
Power Command transmissions is shown on
Figure 62
The function of the principal components in the
circuit are described as follows:
High pressure oil from the CCLS variable
displacement pump, via the trailer brake valve if
fitted, is supplied to a flow dividing and low pressure
regulating valve, located in the end slice of the
remote valves and EDC assembly.
The oil is divided in the valve, depending on system
demands and the oil destined for the low pressure
system is regulated to 24 bar, this oil is also the pilot
line supply for the Electro–Hydraulic remotes,
excess oil is returned to sump.

50
The brake booster supply valve and accumulator
assembly is located on the right hand side of the rear
axle centre housing. The assembly is supplied with
oil directly from the low pressure regulating valve
outlet.

51

The valve allows low pressure oil to supply the brake


pedal booster units (1) when the tractor is producing
sufficient oil pressure. If the oil pressure is lost the
valve will close the brake system off from the low
pressure system and the accumulator will provide
sufficient pressure for several brake applications.

604.55.111.00 – 06 – 2002

The low pressure distributor valve block is


located under the cab to the rear of the rear axle
centre housing. The block is fed oil directly from the
low pressure regulating valve outlet. Located in the
valve block are the solenoid valves for the 4WD,
differential lock, P.T.O and P.T.O. brake.

Transmission Creeper
The creeper actuating solenoid valve is located on
the left hand side of the the rear axle centre housing.
The solenoid is supplied with low pressure oil from
the distributor block.

56
Lubrication Oil
Lubrication oil can be supplied from three sources.
The steering priority valve (1) located on the end of
the steering pump supplies oil to the lube circuit when
the unit does not require oil for steering puposes.
Lubrication oil is also supplied from the return side of
the steering motor and from the charge pressure
circuit via a supplementary lube valve.
A. Tube to oil cooler
B. Connection to steering motor
C. Dynamic Load sense line to the steering motor

57
The supplementary lube valve is located in a three
way elbow in the inlet tube to the steering pump. The
valve is rated at 0.8bar and will only operate when
there is a drop in the lube pressure circuit below the
combined pressure of the charge pressure circuit
and the 0.8bar of the valve.

58
The steering pump / steering return oil is directed
through the oil cooler at the front of the tractor and is
limited to a maximum pressure of 5 bar (73 lbf/in2)
by the lubrication relief valve (2) located in the
transmission top cover. Components lubricated by
this oil are transmission shafts and clutches,
hydraulic pump drive gear and PTO clutch.

59

604.55.111.00 – 06 – 2002
30 SECTION 35 – HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS – CHAPTER 1

When the oil is cold and pressure differential across


the oil cooler is higher than 6 bar (87 lbf/in2) the
cooler by–pass valve (1) located in the tranmission
top cover will operate to ensure that adequate flow to
the lubrication circuit is maintained. This feature of
diverting oil from the cooler assists in aiding a rapid
warm up of oil in cold weather conditions.

Transmission
The low pressure hydraulic circuit for tractors with
Power Command transmissions is shown on
Figure 62.
The function of the principal components in the
circuit are described as follows
Oil is drawn through the steering and low pressure
circuit pump (1) to the steering flow control valve (2)
which diverts oil to both the low pressure and
steering circuits, with priority flow to steering on
demand. Return flow from the steering circuit
combines with the flow from the pump to the low
pressure and lubrication circuit.
Operation of the priority valve is dependant on type
of front axle installed i.e standard or supersteer
axles.
Refer to Steering Section 41 for further details. 1

TIA35149
63
The brake booster valve located immediately in
front of the cab fire wall is supplied with oil from the
low pressure circuit.
When both brake pedals are depressed oil from the
low pressure circuit acts on a piston in the brake
booster valve and pressurises the oil in the brake
booster circuit to apply the front brakes.

64
The low pressure regulating valve in the
transmission top cover limits the pressure in this
circuit to 16–18 bar (230–261 lbf/in2) and the excess
flow passes into the lubrication circuit.

Low pressure circuit oil is directed through the oil


cooler at the front of the tractor and is limited to a
maximum pressure of 7 bar (100 lbf/in2) by the
lubrication valve located in the front of the
transmission. Components lubricated by this oil are
transmission shafts and clutches, hydraulic pump
drive gear, hydraulic lift cross shaft and PTO clutch
lubrication.

When the oil is cold and pressure differential across
the oil cooler is higher than 3.5 bar (50 lbf/in2) the
cooler by–pass valve located in the top cover will
operate to ensure that adequate flow to the
lubrication circuit is maintained. This feature of
diverting oil from the cooler assists in aiding a rapid
warm up of oil in cold weather conditions.
