Parts list - (1) Front axle suspension ram (2) KSP1 accumulator (3) KSP2 accumulator (4) RSP1 accumulator (5) Bleed screw (6) Solenoid valve WV1 (7) Solenoid valve WV2 (8) Control unit (9) Filter (10) Proportional valve (11) Controlled non-return valve (12) 250 + 20 bar pressure relief valve (13) 170 bar pressure relief valve (14) High pressure inlet (15) To auxiliary spool valves, A - Upper ram chamber, B - Lower ram chamber, C - Hydraulic channel, D - Hydraulic channel, E - Hydraulic channel, F - LS pilot line, G - Hydraulic channel, LS - Load Sensing pilot flow, R - Return to housing

Neutral position

In low position, chamber A of the ram (1) is empty. The suspension is in contact with two mechanical central beam stops. In high position, the ram is balanced by accumulators (2), (3) and (4). If the pressure in the ram is too high (shocks received by the front axle), the pressure relief valve (12) opens and the excess pressure is directed to the return. If the ram position has changed, the position sensor value has also changed. If after 3 seconds the sensor value does not match to the calibration value, the calculator supplies the solenoid relevant valve(s) (WV1 (6), WV2 (7)) to make the two values correspond.

Lifting position

When lifting, the two solenoid valves WV1 (6) and WV2 (7) are activated. The WV1 solenoid valve (6) allows oil to reach the accumulators (2) and (3) and chamber A of the ram (1). When the pressure in chamber B reaches 250 bar, the oil returns to the tank via channel C. Channel D also supplies accumulator (4). Solenoid valve WV2 (7) allows priority for the suspended front axle in pilot flow line F. The proportional valve (10) stops the supply to the auxiliary spool valve and linkage. When the pressure in the circuit reaches 180 bar, the circuit resumes its course via the proportional valve (10) and supplies the linkage and auxiliary valves.

Lowering position

When lowering, only solenoid valve WV2 (7) is supplied. The oil supplies chamber B of the ram (1) via channel E. The pressure created in the pilot flow line F allows priority for the suspended front axle. The proportional valve (10) stops the supply to the auxiliary spool valve and linkage. When the pressure in the circuit reaches 180 bar, the circuit resumes its course via the proportional valve (10) and supplies the linkage and auxiliary valves (15). The pressure in pilot flow line F also allows the non-return valve (11) to open so that the oil in chamber A returns to the tank via channel G.

MF 6465, 6475, 6480 - Hydraulic description of the control unit with Twin Flow Load Sensing hydraulics

The operation of the different positions (neutral, lifting and lowering) of the hydraulic unit with Twin Flow hydraulics is similar to that described. The only difference is that the hoses (pressure and LS) are connected at different places.

Identification of ports

On the control unit

A - Supply (hydraulic chamber with a large section), B - Supply (hydraulic chamber with a small section), LS - Load Sensing pilot flow, P - High pressure, T - Return

On the tractor

LS - Load Sensing pilot flow, P - High pressure, T - Return

Massey Ferguson 6465, 6475, 6480 - Disassembling and reassembling the control unit

Some of the following pictures may not show your exact hydraulic control unit, but the procedure is the same. Remove any components that could hinder control unit removal. If necessary, remove the tractor complete control unit. Disassembly - Mark the position of accumulators (2) (3) (4) on the control unit. Remove them. The accumulators may be of different capacity depending on their position and on the front axle model. Loosen the A screw of each solenoid valve. Split the B solenoids from C spools. Unscrew the C spools from the control unit. Gather the components.

Reassembly - Check the components. Replace any defective parts. Screw the C spools on the control unit. Tighten to a torque of 25 Nm. Assemble the B solenoids on C spools. Tighten the A nuts moderately. If necessary, fit new seals on each accumulator. Install the accumulators using the marks made during removal. Tighten to a torque of 200 Nm. If removed, Install the control unit on the tractor. Install any removed components around the control unit. Screw the control unit AV bleed screw. If the control unit and/or one or more solenoid valves needed to be replaced: check P and LS pressure at the control unit ports; calibrate the front axle.
