Sweet Deal Turned Sour; Can someone help?

Hi All,

Me and my big mouth!!!

I was so darned proud of myself for finding this old '80 model 686 for a nice price.

Wrong!!! Bad Mistake!!! Somebody kick me!! This sweetheart deal went south big time.

I've got a problem in the hydraulics. I'm told this tractor is basically the same as a 656 or 666; components are just a little heavier is all.

PTO seems to operate fine. The steering works great, both of the 2 remote levers make 'er grunt in both directions without having anything hooked to them; so far, so good.

The three point moves freely up and down, even works great with me standing on one of the arms. Lifts just fine.

However, when I hook my bush hog up to the tractor, it tries to lift but won't. The tractor just can't lift a lot of weight.

If I manually jack up the implement, the system will hold it up fine and will let it down all at once or in increments depending on where I put the position-lever, just as it should. The three point just won't lift the weight back up again.

I've changed the fluid, the filter and purged all the air. Fluid level is right on the full mark.

Anyone got any ideas?

I really hate being mad at a red tractor and am feeling very foolish for buying it, right about now.

Thanks,

Allan

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
