My hydraulics are not working at all. I have also
attached additional hydraulic hoses to the top of the
housing for a post driver and those hoses have no
pressure to them when the engine is running. I have the
side plate off and everything looks ok. The manual
says to check the control valve. I'm not sure how to do
this while the pump is still in the tractor.
Are there any tests that I can perform via the side
plate while the tractor is running? I was told by
the previous owner that a mechanic got the lifts to
raise by mucking with something behind the sideplate.
Suggestions?
