Open Center System
1. This used an add on Pump, Supplied by manufacturer (Alamo/Triumph) that was run off
the front of the Engine or PTO through a Speed Changer. This supplied the Pressure for
Hydraulic Cylinder Operation as well as to the Motor Operation.
2 This System Used an Aux. MountedTank for the Oil, There were three Tanks Used.
1 st. First was an Oblong Square type that was mounted to a Bracket using Straps,
This Tank has become obsolete and will have to be replaced with the second
tank by making modifications.
2 nd. Second was a larger Tank that is taller and has the Mounting Brackets welded to
it, This tank increased th Oil capacity by about one Gallon. This is also the Last
Tank Used for the Single Wing Models.
3 rd. This Tank was ONLY USED on the Dual Wing Models and is built basically the
same as thr 2 nd. Tank but with a larger Oil Capacity to accomodate the Dual
Wing units.
3. Governor rated @ 20 GPM Maximum Input. 8 GPM (9 GPM optional) priority Flow,
Excess flow returned to reservoir. Pressure drop approimately 50 PSI @ 8 GPM. was
only uded on the Open center models
4. Control Valve is a 3 Spool (one Valve) System for Cylinder & Motor Controls
Closed Center System
1. This WILL NOT use an add on Pump. The Hydraulic Oil & Pressure and Supply is
provided by the Tractor Hydraulic System for all functions
2. The Oil is from the Tractors internal Hydraulic Supply and NO EXTERNAL Hydraulic Tank
is used on this type.
3. The Governor is NOT USED on the Closed Center System, It is controled by the Valves
through restrictors & Check valves.
4. There are 2 control Valves Used, a 2 Spool Valve for Hydraulic Cylinder Controls and a
separate 1 spool Valve for Motor Control.
VALVE NOTES:
1. There were some Closed Center Systems that were converted to Open Center by
modifing the control Valves so the Closed Center could be moved to a Open Center
Tractor, See Control Valve Section for Parts that would have been used. All Models
shared the Control Valves, It is the Open Center or Closed Center Hyd. System that is
important.
