I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place... feel free to move. It's also a new tractor and not old so I'm not sure if its allowed on yesterday's tractors but I'm desperate!
I'm turning to the Internet hoping to find expertise. I text my dealer but he hasnt responded... his shop is closed so I didnt expect it but it was worth a shot.
Is anyone familiar with Branson tractors and their 50hr service? I have the manual that came with the tractor along with the 582pg shop manual on my computer and it has proved useless. It instructs changing the oil and fluid and filters but that's it...and to check the levels
Yesterday we did the 50hr service on our 2019 Branson 7845c. We drained the oil, changed the oil filter, and refilled. Check the levels after it ran and it's perfect. We also drained nearly 15gal of hydraulic fluid, changed the filter, and filled with new fluid. All per the manual. Checked the levels and all good.
Tractor started up perfect, no indicator lights..went to put the FEL up and no response....tried the back hydraulic implement....no response.
The steering is not tight and the tractor will not move forward or reverse. So it's currently a giant peice of steel blocking the garage with all hydraulics lowered (fun!)...
I didnt want to leave running long in case the pump isnt working for fear of burning it up or of fluid wasnt running through. It's like the whole hydraulic system is I responsive because it doesnt even wince if you touch the lever.
Nothing else was fooled with on the machine. Just oil and hydraulic fluid changes. Does anyone have any insight? I'm hoping maybe someone familiar will be on so I am not tractors through the rest of the holiday weekend.
Also, I searched for a bleeder bolt or something of the sort on the pump and found nothing..any secrets? We think it's most likely airlocked.
Thank you in advance
