Yes, it is possible that the "blue line" (the pressure beyond line from the backhoe, which feeds pressure to the 3-point valve when none...

"Puffing from the backhoe control block." Does puffing mean leaking or just a noise? Have you removed the cover, and can you tell where...

does it lug down and die or is it like shutting key off? issue between seat and clutch switches will make it act like key turned off.

Welcome to TBN and also to the "GC group". Does the engine also die when you try to engage the PTO clutch if you do not have the rear...

I doubt it is air trapped, but the couplers are suspect: but you said you changed them. "I find out my arm lift is dead, I heard...

OK, forget most of what I said: it looks like this is a bigger machine than the GC's which only have a 48" bucket.

Interesting. The earlier 1723 & 1725 (and probably all earlier GC's) have 18x8.50-10 & 26x12.0-12 tires. What's on the rear of the new...

It's common to overdrive the front wheels 3% over the rears.... less it won't turn... more = front tire wear.

A few updates to the GC hydraulics thread: How Massey Ferguson GC 1723 & 1725 hydraulics are plumbed

Here are the revised schematics, with and without a backhoe. I have updated some of the line fonts, made a few changes to (hopefully)...

Further, to update my first post regarding the steering gear, the system used on the Massey Ferguson GC tractors is used extensively on...

If the fronts don't exceed the rears the tractor (vehicle) will not turn worth a dang especially on slippery surfaces, snow mud, wet grass.

How easy is it to use? Will it work on a small front tractor tire (18x8.50-10)?

Another thing you could do is buy a second set of wheels and have R14's mounted on them. Then just use those for snow; in snow the ratio...

Those machines are descendants of the GC 1723E and GC 1725M and are good machines. There is a ratio in the gearing so that the front...
