Sounds like maybe the hyd cylinder has a major leak or the top cover gasket may have blown out but that is not common unless the relief valve stuck closed and of that happened that could have much worse things happening and blowing pump gaskets etc. [Reply]   [No Email]

Checked the relief valve when checking the intake and exhaust valves. All valves were in good shape. Still think something snapped in the top cover. Will check that tomorrow. Any other thoughts are welcome. Mr. T. Minnesota [Reply]  [No Email]

Minnesota, 01-11-2013 20:09:40   you are missing HUGE diagnostic observation opportunities. nothing magic happens int he top cover. if you manyally actuate the control valve, the pump will do it's thing with the top cover setting on your kitchen takle no where near the tractor. when you move the valve int he pump.. what happens?

Minnesota, 01-11-2013 20:09:40   Well if something snapped it would be the lift arm cylinder linkage and I can not say 100% sure but if that did happen I would think you would get a mass amount of fluid from the cylinder area but with a set up like that one at best it is a I hope it works. Never have liked trying to tap into the hyd system on the N series fords or for that matter the hundred or ?01 either [Reply]  [No Email]
