Touch Control Question

Postby Sterff89 » Sun Dec 04, 2022 3:28 pm

I recently took my touch control unit on my Super A and resealed it and changed the filter. After putting it back together the left side control valve is leaking. Do I have to drain all the oil out to pull this out again and swap the o-ring? I think if I pull the rockshaft arms I may be able to sneak it out if I stand on my head to do so. Also I included a picture of what the inside looked like when I had it apart. The filter was torn with a pile of dirt below it. Also I found a weird ball of metal?

Sorry, I can not answer your question, but intetesting that it looks like a coil of solid wire or solder in the upper left corner of the cover in the residue.

Yeah I’m not sure what it is. At first I thought it may have been part of an old filter spring but, it is much heavier. Also it is almost tied up in a not. I guess I can drain the fluid as it wouldn’t hurt to flush it once more.

Looks like it might be junk left over from the sand casting operation.

IMHO be quicker and easier to pull it off and fix it that way.

Got it back together and so far it isn't leaking. When I first resealed everything there was a lot of air/chattering when I raised and lowered the rear rockshaft arms. I think it may have rolled or messed up the o-ring then because it was kind of square looking when I removed it. When I tried it on round 2, it raised and lowered very smoothly. An engine hoist sure helps on this job.

I've had very little luck when it comes to reusing o-rings. I just keep a bunch of different sizes on hand and replace them regardless.

I didn't reuse it, I replaced it with a Case IH one from Messicks. The first one was part of the Steiner kit. As much work as it takes to get to the o-ring, I didn't want to guess on putting the wrong one in.
