You know that if you make the tool, you will never need it again.

well last couple days was cold and constant rain here so not much this old body could do joints were a bit stiff and hard to get move in.... these things happen when ya are older and a bit broken in two.....
But today is a much nicer day mobility is a bit better so I'm out to get some things done.... An So I thought  I get some of the parts and housings cleaned up so I could start assembling the tractor but decided they needed to be painted first so I set every thing up on my paint stands.... all is good and moving rite along when the enviable happens.... I hear a ka~thunk and turn around to see the 85 lb. axle housing on the ground heavy enough to sink a bit in to the sand so now the paint not quite dry but in middle stages of tackiness wet enough to grab on to as much sand as it could.... So now I have to re-strip it and do it again.... but wondering how and who pulled the stand pins that caused it to collapse  as I never pull the pins I just leave the stands because I use them often odd how the damdest things just grow legs and walk off knowing someone pulled them because they had enough paint and crap on them you would need pliers to work em out..... Sometimes you just wonder why you even crawled out of bed in the morning.... an so back to square one

So for the last few hours I've been wrestling with the hydraulic valve on this tractor.... There is a tube that goes in to the housing that provides fluid from the pump to the valve and is held in place by a thread and lock nut from out side the axle housing but will not stay in place when your trying to reassemble the valve back in to the axle housing and you can only fish it in through a small port in front that the lift lever and draft control bolt on to
Man this thing is a big pain in the ass...…….But I finally got it in and secured to the valve.... I've been frustrated by some things but this just frustrated the tar out of me... so giving up for the night and gonna get back at it tomorrow and see if I can finish it all up and have it buttoned up for pick up... another day and another dollar lost....

Was reading your post on this in what did you do today. It might be worth a shot to take a screw driver or a heel bar (or a stethoscope ) and put the end on the different valve bodies in the system and listen to what's going on. I had a main pressure relief valve bypassing on a truck packer body one time I could not pick up on with all the engine noise and whatnot. Stuck my ear to the end of long screwdriver with the tip on the relief valvebody the SOB was shrieking like a Banshee. It had a little sliver of metal caught in the relief valve keeping it from closing back up. Couldn't hear it but it was keeping system pressure down enough to screw up the entire packing cycle. Just a thought as you chase shit down.

I am frustrated to no end with this one so I need to sit back and collectively get my head together and start from the beginning and go back through it which is a hell of a lot of work to do but it will need to be done... Just when I think it will be a simple fix it just gets more complicated pain in the ass must be from getting old and tired either way its back to square one again....

This thing has got me so stressed out all I see in my head when I try to sleep is that dam TCU valve and schematic sort of nightmarish shit... kind of like a flash back from many years back... when I worked 3000 head of sheep for the first time in my life took me a couple of weeks to be able to close my eyes and fall asleep with out waking up in a cold panic sweat cause all I could hear and see in my head was those 3000 dam sheep jumping burring and bah-ing and a saddle sore ass to go with it... for a month Anyway today is a new day of frustration just like the sheep I can't shoot the dam thing because it's stressing me out... I just got to figure out the problem an get the job done...

For awhile, do something else for a few hours or days.... Sometimes it helps. I had a tractor that would not start in wet or rainy weather, after a week of running the wiring. I was stumped. No problem could be found. Fixing it became a mission, the owner, wanting it back, it setting there snearing at me, and not having a clue as what was wrong and how to fix it. I sent the tractor back with no charge for the work. It ended up in three seperate shops before landing back here, fifteen minutes with a garden sprayer, I had found the problem replaced the the low oil pressure switch and it will start in a monsoon now.
