Massey Ferguson 7716, 7718 hydraulic system – Load Sending Left-hand cover plate
With the exception of the profile of certain hydraulic components, the
design and operation of the left-hand cover plate are virtually
identical for tractors equipped with 110 l/min Load Sensing hydraulic
equipment (GPA20, GPA30 or GPA40 rear axles) or 150 l/min Load Sensing
(LS) hydraulic equipment (GPA40).
MF 7716, 7718 tractors equipped with a GPA20
or GPA40 rear axle
The left-hand cover plate is Installed on the centre housing.
It supports (on the internal face):
- the charge pump (2) with a capacity of 60 cm3/revolution, 71
cm3/revolution or 80 cm3/revolution (according to specification) (GPA20
and GPA40 rear axles) (110 l/min LS hydraulic system) or the charge pump
(2) with a capacity of 100 cm3/revolution (GPA40 rear axles) (150 l/min
LS hydraulic system)
- the drive gear (12) fitted on the charge pump
- the suction manifold (4);

- the 150 micron suction strainer (6).
Massey Ferguson 7716, 7718 engine movement transmitted to the gear (1)
via the shaft (5) drives the gear (12) for the charge pump (2).
The oil is sucked in by the manifold (4). It is then directed to the
strainer and the charge pump (2) via a channel moulded into the cover
plate.
The oil delivered by the charge pump (2) is directed to the variable displacement pump (41) via the charge pipe (3).
When the high
pressure hydraulic slave devices (e.g. auxiliary spool valves) are not
activated, the charge pump (2) is resupplied via the 5 bar safety valve
(44).

The left-hand cover plate (14) is Installed on the intermediate housing.
It supports on the internal face:
- the charge pump (2) with a capacity of 60 cm3/revolution (GPA30 rear
axle)
- the drive gear (12) fitted on the charge pump
- the suction manifold (4);
on the external face:
- the 150 micron suction strainer (6).
The engine movement transmitted to the gear (1) via the shaft (5) drives
the gear (12) for the charge pump (2). The oil is sucked in by the
manifold (4).
It is then directed to the strainer (6) and the charge pump (2) via a channel moulded into the cover plate.
The oil delivered by the charge pump (2) is directed to the variable displacement pump (41) via the charge pipes (3) and (54).
When the high pressure hydraulic
slave devices (e.g. auxiliary spool valves) are not activated, the
charge pump (2) is re-supplied via the 5 bar safety valve (44), the pipe
(55) and the manifold (4).

A - Suction port (oil from manifold (4) and continuity pipe (1) or (55)
(depending on assembly)) C - 150 suction strainer G - Charge port (oil
directed to variable displacement pump via the charge pipe (3) or the
charge pipes (3) and (54) depending on assembly).
