MX5200 no PTO and no Power

[doesleap]

My tractor loses power almost to the point of stalling if I go above creep speed. Additionally, when I engage the PTO, it stalls the tractor. I thought they were two separate problems and I ended up pulling my PTO clutch pump assembly, testing the solenoid, and blowing air through the port while the valve was open. I also changed my fuel filter. When I put everything back together, power resumed and the PTO engaged (although I did not test it under load). Everything worked well for 3 days and the symptoms returned. The only thing I can think of doing is changing the hydraulic filters. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You have a fuel delivery issue.
Did you drain and clean the separator?

Drained and cleaned. The ring in the separator was low and the mesh filter was in decent shape.

You need to pull the line off that feed the fuel filter, and check for flow with the key on, as it could be a failed lift pump.

Do not remove the banjo bolt fitting off the fuel filter.

Thanks for the reply. Already did it. Lift pump is moving fuel.
