3-Point Hitch help please i have lost all hydraulic pressure on my MT1601D

"The FEL is connected on the side of the Hydraulic block (Where the external relief valve used to be)"



Not even sure what to think about that, let alone saying something about that . LOL

well it came connected that way and have obviously worked fine for the 2 years i have had it (up till now that is)
next week it goes in to a Hydraulics specialist in a town close to us (they repair Hydraulics for professionals on all type of Machines) so it will be their problem now

Well Finally its working again. not thanks to the experts (they didnt have time for it so i had a new go at it myself.
Put a new Hydraulic pump on (still nothing)
So i took the valves for the FEL of and took them apart (despite being recommended not to)
And behold there was a Relief valve stuck or it didnt close properly, had to give it a wack to get it to close properly and now everything is working again (for how long remains to be seen)

Sound like a thorough cleaning of that relief valve was in order.
Perhaps buffing/polishing all the mating surfaces would be in order.

In all probability some crud or even the smallest bit of grit caused that relief valve to stick open.

You now know why filters are so important.
