ford 4600 mystery lever!

[smiles]

Evening all - does anyone know what the lever in the centre of the picture does? just under the seat,by the draught control lever

 

I'm hoping that it is to regulate the flow for the hydraulics - just fitted a forklift mast - and it's a bit lively in operation!

 

The lever is not actually connected to anything at the moment,but there is a valve block directly below that I suspect it was connected to,but can't be sure!

 

Cheers

Yes it is the flow control valve, towards seat for maximum flow away for minimum flow. Yours looks like it’s at maximum.

Adjusts the seat...

Thanks Shaggy - am I right in thinking that it should be attached to the mechanism directly below the external service valve (on the side of the transmission housing)

 

and thanks Worcswuss - but i think that the seat is a little beyond adjusting,which is a shame as it's a bit snug behind the wheel !!!

 

Cheers

Yes on the side of the transmission should be fairly obvious
