On backhoe removal what do I need to do with hydro stuff? I just bought it, i knew it had a leak so I unplugged the 3 hoses so my son would not hit the levers and blow fluid everywhere. Suddenly it won't start unless I push the clutch in. When release clutch it bogs a bit. I have manuals ordered they just aren't hear yet.
What haven't I done correctly on the hydro end?

Congratulations on your new tractor. M59s are great machines.

No loop with M59. Three quick disconnects, lines for backhoe. Two supply and one return.

If you don’t manipulate the valves under the seat correctly you can deadhead the hydraulics. Both valves pushed in for 3pt hitch. Both pulled out for backhoe. Should be a label for proper valve position.

So if you disconnect the lines you must push in the valves when machine is not running.

Both owners manual and shop manuals are helpful. I would study before operating

Seat switch disconnects the need to push the clutch to start when turned around for backhoe use. Normal use requires the clutch to be depressed to start.

Good luck and enjoy!

Thank you! Almost all of the stickers are missing. I did find 2 heavy wire rods sticking out from under seat and about 30% of a sticker on their proper use.
These were already pushed in though. Are you sure it's in for 3pt and out for the hoe?

I made a mistake even after looking up in manual. Glad you caught it.
You are correct. My labels are in bad shape too.
