Re: Hydraulics not working

Hi, Just back from Marokko with temperatures of over 40 degrees celcius, now here in holland 15 degrees max :-( So testing the lift arms is difficult using compressed air, to bad. The problem is that I am not sure where to start, the aux "pull" knob is defect, the speed controll is broken off the au...

Re: Hydraulics not working

Hi,

I wonder if its possible to put compressed air in to one of the ports under the aux service unit to see if the lift arm will move at all?

Kind regards,
Rob.

Re: Hydraulics not working

Never mind the previous post! :cry: It helps when you loosen ALL the set-screws.

The oil came out, quite a lot of it and as I was looking at the other side, i did not see if it was with a lot of force. So the pump seems to be working and now take the lift off ? :shock:

Regards,
Rob.

Re: Hydraulics not working

Also remember, you have a New Performance Hydraulic System which is different to the plain Super. I tried to get if off but somehow it does not want to move, but I found a lot of documentation on a swedish forum and it has a suplement for the hydraulics on the new super major, this looks verry much...

Re: Introduction and some questions.

I took the alternator apart and noticed that one of the diodes had a loose terminal and I corected this, I was to much in a hurry and maybe to lazy to measure all the diodes, the coils had a low resistance but I did not measure against ground or zero so there can still be a short circuit. Also, if t...

Re: Introduction and some questions.

Pffff... If it should be a oilbath filter then thats great, I was worried that the oil level of the engine was way to high, or maybe diesel was getting there because it did not burn. Last year this tractor has been running to chip some wood in our garden and after that i dont think it had any mainta...

Re: Introduction and some questions.

Hi, I bought a switch and connected it to the basic wiring. The battery measured 9V so I had to put my car next to it to get it charged. After a couple of minutes the engine turned slowly for 1 second but did not start. After that I had to wait for the battery to load again so I could try to start o...

Re: Introduction and some questions.

Are you aware of the eccesive fuel button on the injection pump? You need to push it in when the engine is cold Well, I can only see a valve for speed controll, one on the tank for the fuel, one on a fuel pump that looks like a primer and when you look at the picture below, there is a lever to the ...
