I thought the solenoid was the electrical actuator of the valve? I thought you would still hear "clicking" of the solenoid even if the valve was gummed up or jammed by debris or whatever???
Hydraulic Deflector not working

Heres a section view. The spool goes into the center opening in the coil where it is magnetically shifted. Taken together they constitute a solenoid.
Remove the coil and you can remove the spool. I think your problem is purely electrical. Bad coil or bad connection
Thanks. Just checked the solenoid and it does click when 12 VDC are applied. Narrowing it down! Thanks again.
Did you check the deflector while you had 12V applied? If you got a click I would expect it to work.

Didn't think of that....but would have to find another battery as I was using the removed BX Battery.
No need to remove the battery. You can jump the coil straight from the other tractor.
