43 ford red belly

Swen · Sep 1, 2013

The hydrolics on my tractor lifts up & down without attachments. When I attach anything it doesn't have lift. I changed out the old fluid & flushed completely out. I put new hydrolic oil in it & it still doesn't have lift. Can someone tell me how to repair this issue? Thanks

Well #1 you need to fill in the blanks some. If in fact a 43 it would be a 2N ford right??
#2 you need an FO-4 I-T manual so as to use it to explain things that would be hard for use to do since it has good pictures.
That said pull the right hand inspection plate off the one with the hyds dip stick. Fire it up and have it trying to lift something heavy like a blade etc. Watch for oil moving a lot of dripping. Let us know what you find. Could be a number of things like a leaking cylinder or a relief valve not working or a blown pump gasket

Did this problem happen all at once,or over a long
period of time?As old said,all at once is a blown
gasket/Oring....Over time is probably just worn
out.After all,it's 70 years old.

And a 43 would not have been a red belly tractor, they were all battleship grey and 3 speed transmission, the red belly started with the 8N as a 48 model and was a 4 speed transmission. So in your post you are saying it is TWO seperate models that the hydrolic systems are different on. Need the correct model to have any good ideas.
