    Cranks no start Fuel pump not working

    Will it start by shorting out the solenoid terminals using a screw driver with the ignition on? Have you checked the battery is fully charged and all of the connections are clean? Don't laugh, I have to fix the crappy earth on my tractor. If it does but cuts out when engaging the PTO, then it...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Replacing the valve etc, I didn't buy at auction hoses and new control valve BEFORE I bought my new home in July last year... there will be more serviceable units. The Black and white box diagrams, what does P and PB mean, referring back to the Merrick diagram, or my coding, which is the red...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Hi Dan. Yes whoever worked on the hydraulics had no idea, the manager of the farm said the hydraulics didn't work on the tractor and the FEL had been sitting in the paddock from before she started 9 years ago. In the current market,the managers lack of knowledge and the fact that nobody...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Photo 1 is the tagged hoses entering from below, note the looped in/out, nothing goes to the valve in this circuit. Photo 2 the right hand hose is capped and exits from the top of the valve/control box. Photo 3 has the black/white cable ties for the original pto cicuit, the red cable tie for...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Yes, the valve has been through a lot. I have added more cable ties to assist in working where things go. Pictures following.... So, Yellow or yellow/white cable ties is the output, originally connected to the outlet pipe for the FEL. Green cable tie is the sump return pipe and still...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    *Groan* yeah, I am hoping that the side wall of the box steel will have enough integrity, if I could get the original engineering diagram then I can make it close to identical. The bolt is "probably" ok, but not high tensile steel, however I can fix that later. I have the option of cutting...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    The undervseat valve is a standard factory option. It gets supply and return directly off the side of the transmission. The two couplerscare for hooking up a cylinder. Therer is no reason for them to be looped together. This is standard stuff. You dont need to guess what they do or how they...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Hi Dan, yes to the first diagram. The second diagram, thankyou, I hadn't seen that diagram, it was looped back onto itself with a bridging piece, no male and female connectors and hanging down over the right side of the axle, I figure it is a basic on/off switch for whatever it is attached to...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Ok basically the hydraulics for the FEL are connected as per the parts diagram from messicks which I printed out and then colour coded the hydraulic hoses so it works. When I started the tractor is when I discovered the leaking hydraulic fluid from one of the bucket rams. There is a circuit to...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    I've been busy... anyway the pipe you have the question marks on is supposed to be joined the same yellow tag on the pump inlet/outlet, and now it is. Everything is working as it should, now I have a hydraulic piston leaking so a rebuild to do, about $60 Australian and a couple of hours. Found...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Hi,thanks I found the PTO control valve, it still turns at all times. The hydraulics now lift and drop the 3pl. Traced the hydraulic lines by using different coloured zip ties on each circuit, turns out the main output wasn't connected to the fel circuit. Now it works, and I have 2 isolated...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Uplate, after cleaning everything I decided to trace all hydraulic circuits. Somebody altered the hydraulics flow from the output to a by pass and then fed the returning line straight to the inflow on top of the gearbox. So tomorrow's job is to find suitable capping bolts for the bypass lines...

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Hi Dan. Yes it is a farmerized set up, the old dear worked on a large orchard it was used for towing water around. I decided to clean off 30 years of dirt and oil before posting pictures, still scraping and brushing before washing, long handled screw drivers are my new friends, lol, I could...

    Any idea where to find this hose, is it flexible or steel?

    L5450 with FEL not working

    Hi. Last year I bought an l5450 with an La 1150 fel, fel not attached. Connections were pretty ordinary, and finally replaced the main connections. No movement on the hydraulics. The hoses had a bit of water in them, and the disconnected hoses for one of the rams (ram is absent) had air. I...
