Tractor hydraulics are up and running!

Lift performs great, also with heavy loads, tested with some equipment today.

Must have been the unload valve that was a little bit stuck, i have left the o-ring off like suggested here...


Thanx for the help guys! many thanks

Don't know if that's the main reason or not but last summer the lift worked fine and the lift cover hasn't came off since...

What's the first pipe on your picture Brian, the one just before the feed pipe? haven't got that one....

He guys, found the other retainer, probably fell when taken the lift cover off. yes now i understand, they don't sit in the lift cover but they hold the feed pipe in place in the rear axcle housing.

Just a little bit confused with the flow control valve....

grrrrrrrr :s

Hi Brian, thanks for the quick reply... Can you confirm that i checked oil coming out on the right plug? Think i have tried everything to remove the valve but with no luck so far... i'm out off ideas for removing it without damage! Borrowing one is a good idea just need to source one... Can you buy ...
