Hydraulic Lift System - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Creeper gearbox (optional for MF 410/420/430)
The creeper gearbox is located between the
transmission and the rear axle housing. It gives the
option of reducing the speed of the tractor in the ratio
of 4:1, beside allowing the use of normal speeds.
The creeper gearbox offers double the number of
speeds in forward and reverse.
The operating lever, located in the middle of the
gearbox cover permits engagement of the creeper
gearbox or use of the normal transmission. The tractor
must be stopped with the clutch fully depressed in
order to move the lever.
Move the lever forward to the HARE position (Fig.
57) to the position where the creeper gearbox is
disengaged and the tractor speeds are normal. Move
the lever rearwards through neutral to the TORTOISE
position for engagement of the creeper gearbox and
the provision of very low speeds. Implements requiring
the use of a creeper gearbox are those used for
planting, transplanting and drainage operations.

Hydraulic lift system

WARNING: Before operating any of the
controls ensure that all bystanders are
clear of the tractor and its implements.
The Ferguson hydraulic system combines the tractor
and implement into one unit with the implement
hydraulically controlled. This system has the following
controls:
Draft control, (1,Fig. 58) operates in the Yellow
(Draft) range of the quadrant and is used to control
the working depth of soil-engaging implements. The
further the lever is moved to the DOWN position, the
deeper the implement will tend to penetrate the
ground and, conversely, the nearer the lever is to the
UP mark, the shallower the implement will tend to
work.
Position control, (2) operates on the Red (Position
and Transport) and Blue (Constant Pumping) range
of the quadrant. The Red sector is used to control
the working height of implements above the ground.
When the lever is in the Blue sector, the tractor's lift
pump hydraulic power can be used to operate a
hydraulic tipping trailer, simple front end loader, low
power hydraulic motor or auxiliary hydraulic control
valve. It can also supplement the auxiliary system to
give additional speed. The quadrant has a stop to
prevent inadvertent location in constant pumping.
Push the control lever slightly outward and then select
the constant pumping position. Adjustable stops,
hand knobs (3) lock the adjustable stop in place when
the desired working depth or height is reached.
Response control
This control (Fig. 59, 1) is used to control the rate of
drop of the lower links and the attached implement.
Rotate the knob counterclockwise (-) for slow, and
clockwise (+) for fast.
NOTE: The control is very sensitive, move slowly
and a little at a time.
