No hydraulics after using PTO

[Shane H]

You guys making me sad. Haven't had a chance to do ANYTHING with mine for a couple weeks...

I work on mine in between other jobs and waiting for parts.
Seems every time I look there is something else needs repairing.

I filled the steering box with oil today then adjusted the slack.
Now that I have that sorted I find out the front diff is sliding
back and forth parallel to the tractor frame.
Must need a bushing or washers not sure.
The PO told me you stop the engine with the decompressor now
I read in the manual it can damage the engine and should only
be used in emergencies.
I found the lever under the dash which stops the engine after
watching a youtube video on the subject.

The battle continues hopefully the little beast will be going
again shortly.

Finally got the tractor going last few days.
Now the hydraulics are working as they should.
No leaking FEL cylinders or wobbling rear wheels.
Obviously the blocked filter was causing
the loss of hydraulic pressure. Lesson learned, buy a second
hand tractor which has been neglected change all
filters and fluids. There are still a number of problems
which need fixing. I ll be working on those over
the coming weeks.

Thanks for the help from those who have posted
information and Dave eng who sent me a workshop manual.
