Control Valve Relocation:

The 2001 Machete will reflect a change in the way some of the components are mounted to the tractor. New Machete units received from the factory, or assembled by dealer after S/N MB21- 01572 & UP or MB24-01245 & Up will have the control valve in a new location. It will no longer be mounted on the frame. The Control Valve will be located under the front pump cover in the front of

the tractor. This change was made to better protect the Valve and its components from debris and
other possible damage.
	Pump Fiter
As you can see in figure 1,
the valve is fastened to a plate
that is mounted to the units hy-
draulic tank. The Pressure Filter

of the tank. Both the Pressure
Filter and the Pump Filter are
accessible and can be changed
with minimal effort. Sepaarate
hose exstension were used to
extend the hose reach to the front
of the tractor. If a hose connec-
tion is not easily accessible, then			Pressure Fiter

low for romm when servicing.
These Changes were
made to better protect the valve
and its components. These
changes will only be seen on the
new units after Jan. 2001 and is	Figure 1
not intended for units already in
use.
