Thanks for the reply Harry!

here is the right side of engine picture. I don't know what the purpose is of the piece that the arrow is pointing to. thanks, Carr

I installed this kit from spare parts holland- an ebay vendor. easy to install. only problem or concern is the pick up tube came out when I removed the original cap. I think i have it all back together now. However, I have not been able to test it since my new drag box blade has not arrived...

I have a MF 135. see pics for name plate on the tractor. I was told it has "assisted power steering?" Any way, a mechanic told me this. I think it needs some more hydraulic fluid for the assist. I have an owner's manual, but I can not find the location of the fill port. I looked at the...

Thanks Sportsman762, would you say 4.5 gpm is good enough for a hydraulic cylinder on a box blade? thank you!

Skye, i will let you know. thanks

I have a diesel MF 135 with no remote hydraulics. I would like to be able to operate a cylinder on a hydraulic box blade. this seems like a light load for hydraulics vs. a front end loader. my question is, will someone recommend a vendor for the conversion kit? the kits i have seen on the...

I received my load shaft, load shaft seals, and o-rings. i heated the shaft seals in hot water before I installed the seals. heating the seals made installation fairly easy. with the load shaft oiled, the installation of the shaft was easy too. thanks for all the help.

Thanks tx Jim, I appreciate your willingness to share your expertise.

thanks TX Jim. what does L/D shaft/bushings mean? i am not that good at acronyms. i do not pull heavy 3 pt loads, mostly pull heavy drawbar loads- 11 ft. disc, 15 ft shredder. This may not be considered heavy loads. I am ok with not replacing items 10 & 11. what about items 15 & 16 on the...

Hello all, i have a JD 4430 that is leaking hydraulic fluid around the load control shaft. I removed the load control shaft, pictures attached. I am guessing that i need to buy a new shaft because of the ridges on the old shaft. The ridges are not deep, but may be enough to cause a leak. I...

Jim, i have not tried to diagnose the broken tachometer. in your experience, is the drive cable usually broken, or is the meter on the dash broken? thanks

Jim, hours show over 7,000 before the meter broke.

the hex shaft was found to broken right where the shaft goes into the pump. My mechanic was able to get all or the shaft out luckily. So now we have to replace the pump and the shaft. thanks for all of the advice.

jim, hydraulic filter was changed about 20 hours before the problem occurred. i did not notice anything unusually bad in the filter. suction screen was cleaned / examined when the mechanic was diagnosing the recent problem. he reported that there was slimy looking hydraulic fluid on the...
