Make sure the tank vent is clear. A plugged vent tube doesn't have exactly the same symptoms you have, but I'm not sure what else to suggest. Bruce

Keenserts have worked very well for my repairs. Bruce

I was in a similar situation. I choose to do an in-frame overhaul. I have concerns about used parts/engines. It will cost more for an in-frame but at least you know exactly what you got.

I like this a lot. Nice limb risers.

I know this is an old thread, but it seems this is coming up from time to time. So here is what I have learned about the 3315 winch with spool type control valve. It is an open center hyd system(oil is always being pumped, but pressure is not exerted until the spool valve is moved). Fluid is always ...

That is a really nice original example. In my part of the country, the unmolested originals are more sought after than the restored examples. Especially with a great provenance. Bruce

Spool valve? Send a message to Lavoy and inquire. j-kequipment.com has a spool valve and a rotary valve listed on his web site. Best to call, because the web mat not be up to date.

Jim, good idea. A hydraulic splitter would work well. Some splitters can reduce flow, and may not be the greatest for high flow needs. Bruce

I have a 3rd valve sandwiched on the end of the other valves. I believe it was factory installed for a 4 in 1 bucket(that I do not have, but wish I did). The pressure line from the pump is steel from the factory and has no access provision I am aware of(not saying i could not be added).

I have just found out the little webster pump in my 3315 winch is worn out. I checked with Murphy Tractor and some internal parts are available. Unfortunately, a couple of the critical seals are not available, not on a dealer locate not at vintage parts. Does anyone know what model/series the webste...

Thank you 77 Ford for posting the correct information. Hydrualic filter by pass.

CatD8RII- Thank you for your input. I have decided to use a specialty grease from JD. TY27373. Synthetic grease, 5% Moly with Calcium Sulfanate thickening. It has a wide range for temps, with 500F melting. Industrial, mining, forestry use, with extreme pressure such as pin to pivot contact.

Air filter, I think

Update, I have found the part at Shaefer Enterprises of Wolf Lake. $25 plus shipping. Brad is the man at 800-626-6046. Wolf Lake is about an hour south of St Louis on the Illinois side of the river. Thank you, Bruce

Nice looking crawlers. Keepem rolling. Bruce
