I am not missung a thing and I thought long ans hard before I posted my last response to you. Ultimately I decided it was something that needed to be said. I operate a small business selling stuff just like yours but for fun not profit. I answer the phone, respond to email and snswer questuons...

Since you are being loud, persistent, and spamming this site I am going to cut to the chase here. You are not claiming any added capability over factory specifications and are selling $3 worth of factory parts at a 10X markup to cover your expenses and profit. You are justifying that by...

With that budget and needs look for a good 25 year old Ford, International, Case, or MF diesel utility tractor. Dan

OUT is closest to pump. Dan

You cant have it both ways. You are claiming performance greater than brand new - e.g jailbreaking the machine The only thing adding shims will "fix" is a relief pressure setting lower than OEM specification. Thats caused by a weakened spring and adjustment is covered in the WSM. It wont fix...

I was going to stay out of this but... Increasing cylinder pressure by 25% increases cylinder force by 25%. Simple physics.. The dead weight lifting capacity of a loader is Total cylinder force x Mechanical advantage Thats a linear relationship and MA is fixed by the cylinder/boom geometry...

More importantly testing 3pt pressure wont tell you which relief is limiting the pressure andvyou cc also havevthe piston seals as a third possibility. Dan

Which hoses? If you reverse the cylinder hose it will steer in reverse If you reverse the supply and return hoses it probably wont steer at all and the transmission may quit working. Neither should damage anything. Its easy to determine which hose goes where Dan

What are you trying to accomplish? The primary relief on in your machine is in the loader valve. It sets max pressure to the loader and 3pt valve. It can increase pressure at thr loader but cannot increase 3pt pressure beyond the setting in the 3pt valve. If you added a hoe it can be...

The pressure test is an excellent idea. On that tractor the best test point for pump discharge pressure is the AUX hydraulic outlet block. Connect your gauge directly to the OUT port and turn the selector valve to the AUX position. That will deadhead the pump against the he gauge. Start the...

Be careful. Depending on the model with that test low pressure can be the relief in the tractor or the loader valve. Dan

Still waiting for a pic of the label on the new hoses..... Dan

But plenty of hose fittings :) Dan

Land Pride says that implement is 25 - 130 HP abd matched to a M series machine. A larger L might be acceotable but a LX or L2501 would not be a good match. Dan

I suspect thats the bearing retainer. Consult your workshop manual. I will ask one more time - what hydraulic diagnostics have you done and why remove the pump? Dan
