Tom and Murf,

Have hydraulics working normally now. Found filter to be plugged. There were pieces of what looked to be rubber and cloth in it. I had just blown a hose on the hoe a few days prior, that could be what it was. I tested the pressure and found I have 2350 psi. I ran the mower today as well and observed no loss in hydraulics after 4 hours.

Tom FYI, in the trouble shooting section it said one possible problem could arise from the adjustment on the control lever for the 3PH. I don't know if you have a single lever or the dual control with the draft lever. If it is a single lever, there is a notch at the top of the control. If you bring your control lever against (not in) the notch, you should not hear the pressure relieve. If you do you have to adjust the lever until the relief valve stops (just stops) lifting. I have also figured out exactly how the priority valve works. If there is no pressure to open it, you get nothing beyond it, only power steering. This has been an (expensive) learning experience. The high pressure valve was not cheap (ate up all my mowing profits).

Again, thanks for all the input. I will probably not come back to this bulletin board unless I have another problem. If you have any questions for me my e-mail is dfreer@wnyweb.net.

Yours,

Dave

Tom,

Thanks for the info. I'm with you, I don't think of this tractor as an antique, not after the Massey Harris 33 I had.
