Abstract: A housing (100) for housing hydraulic components, wherein the hydraulic components are configured for operating a hitch mechanism of a tractor, is a single-body component that is configured to house a plurality of valve mechanism and a reciprocating piston therein. The housing (100) comprises cavities for locating valve mechanisms therein and a cylinder (110) for accommodating a reciprocating piston (210). The housing (100) together with a plurality of valve mechanisms (122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132) disposed in corresponding cavities, forms a predetermined hydraulic circuit (1000). The hydraulic circuit (1000) has minimum number of leakage joints, minimizes number of components and therefore assembly and machining operations.

Abstract: The present disclosure envisages a unitary housing for housing hydraulic components, wherein the hydraulic components are configured for operating a hitch mechanism of a tractor. The unitary housing comprises cavities for locating valve mechanisms therein and a cylinder for accommodating a reciprocating piston. The unitary housing together with a plurality of valve mechanisms disposed in corresponding cavities, forms a predetermined hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit has minimum number of leakage joints, minimizes number of components and therefore assembly and machining operations.
