Farmall Cub Touch Control Block Rebuild

I had two of their kits supplied by the customers, found neither kit had everything needed and a lot of junk in there not needed so a waste of $$ far as i am concerned
also their hydraulic pump kit did not have the little "lock pin" that comes in the from IH and not sold separate, so Steiner hydraulic kits are a waste

I bought my hydraulic pump kit from TM months ago but never put it in yet. Hearing this makes me very aggregated, you would think they would make sure there kits would be right. I don't know what I can do about it now.

I think tst was referring to Steiner, not TM Tractor.

TM is fine, Steiners had the issues

Yes that's what I was saying. I ordered the hydraulic pump kit from TM awhile back but ordered everything for the hydraulic reservoir from Steiner. Well, if I see something wrong I'm sending everything back to Steiner.

If you haven't already removed all the o-rings on the parts, I recommend cleaning each part very carefully but leave the o-ring in place until you're ready to reassemble. As you're ready for each piece, only then remove the o-ring, wipe out the groove it sits in checking for any burrs, then match the old o-ring to the new ones. Dip the o-ring in a cup of hydraulic fluid and install on the part.

Before inserting anything into the bores, pour some hydraulic fluid into each. When you're ready to install a part, dip it also into the fluid and rotate the part as you install it to avoid damaging the o-ring.

As a side note, I lay all the new o-rings out by size, grouping the same ones together. That makes it much easier to pick out the one you need.

Another piece (or two!) of advice, print out the HOW TO for whichever block you have, and keep it right there where you're working so you can refer to it.

Thread 'Old Style Touch Contol BlockRebuild'

I am rebuilding an old style touch control block Casting number 351686R1 (The early Touch Control part numbers are 351981R1, and 354383R1 through 354383R4. Credit @Glen) on a 1948 Cub. The old style has some significant differences from the new style. I have searched this sight as best I could for a step by step repair complete with pics.like troop has done for the new style but cannot seem to find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Otherwise I will document my rebuild and post it as I go.
Thanks,
Joey J.

Thread 'Hydraulic Block Rebuild'

This is a rebuild for hydraulic block 360719R1. Different block(s) will require different parts so make sure to get the right rebuild kit. There are some variances as well but this should still be of assistance. The pictures should tell the story on their own. As has been previously noted on the forum, the replacement filter (screen) is a bit too long. You will have to make it fit as best as you can (it is about an 1/8 inch too long).
(See this thread for additional information: https://farmallcub.com/community/threads/farmall-cub-touch-control-block-rebuild.118209/post-945651)...

If you don't already have one of these (NOT the one in your kitchen!!),

...grab one from Walmart! Keep those parts from each bore in line with the same orientation as the photos in the HOW TO.

Ah! That's right...when the forum switched over, those photos became " inaccessible" to most. I'm not sure why I still am able to see them when I call them up, but I did do a cut and paste word document that includes all the photos.
Which block do you have the early or later one?

If you DM me with your email address, & let me know which block you have, I can send you a copy tomorrow.
