Massey Ferguson 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 Tractor Hydraulic system - Right-hand cover plate

The Massey Ferguson 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 tractor right-hand cover plate is fitted on the intermediate housing (GPA30 rear axle) or the centre housing (GPA20 and GPA40 rear axles). It is the main support for a number of components.

It incorporates the various channels for the charge system, the lubrication system and the low flow rate and high flow rate systems of the 110 l/min or 150 l/min Load Sensing system.

On its internal face, the cover contains:

- the variable displacement pump (41) with a capacity of 45 cm3/revolution (GPA20, GPA30 and GPA 40 rear axles) (110 l/min Load Sensing hydraulic system) or the variable displacement pump (41) with a capacity of 60 cm3/revolution (GPA 40) 150 l/min Load Sensing hydraulic system.

- its drive gear (39) fitted to the MF 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 variable displacement pump

- the safety valve (45) of the low pressure system set to 24 bar,

- the safety valve (44) of the charge and lubrication system set to 5 bar. This safety valve differs depending on the tractor's Load Sensing hydraulic equipment (110 l/min or 150 l/min).

On its external face, the cover contains:

- the main filter 15 μ (27); this differs depending on the Massey Ferguson 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 tractor's Load Sensing hydraulic equipment (110 l/min or 150 l/min).

- one or two priority blocks serving different functions of the low and high flow rate systems.

For the 40 kph version with trailer braking, the Massey Ferguson 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 tractors are fitted with a hydraulic unit with two priority blocks.

For the 50 kph version with or without trailer braking, the tractors are systematically fitted with a hydraulic unit with two priority blocks.

These priority blocks can be distinguished from the priority blocks on the 40 kph version with trailer braking by a higher number of hydraulic ports.

These additional hydraulic ports are used by the high-pressure braking unit;

- the pressure relief-valve (2);

- the Massey Ferguson 6480, 6475, 6485, 6255 variable displacement pump hydraulic regulator (12);

- the three or four flanged solenoid valves (2 or 4WD) that control the low pressure functions (17 or 21 bar);

- diagnostics connectors for high and low pressure (11) (20), lubrication charge (29), LS (9);

- the engine speed sensor (25) (if fitted);

- the low pressure (14) and charge (42) switches as well as the main filter blockage indicator (34).

Description

The engine movement transmitted to the gear (1) via the shaft (2) drives the gear (39) of the variable displacement pump (41). The shaft (2) is splined to the engine flywheel vibration damper via the PTO shaft.

The oil coming from the charge pump located on the left-hand cover plate (see chapter 9) is directed towards the priority block via the pipe (3) (GPA20 and GPA40) or the pipe (54) (GPA30) via the variable displacement pump (41), to supply the required function.

The pipe (1) (GPA20 and GPA40 rear axles) or the pipe (55) (GPA30 rear axle) carries the oil coming from the 5 bar safety valve (44) to the suction manifold (4) fitted on the left-hand cover plate.
