Do those motors have external case drain? If yes triple check that line since high case pressure is what typically causes seals to fail. If no case drain then would start by monitoring both work port pressures on that motor. One side needs to be low enough to prevent seal damage. Note: I am not...
If cable operated you should be able to just replace the cables. On the joysticks I have seen the rubber boot at the bottom of the joystick can be slid up to access the ball joints or cable connections. Not sure how your tractor is made though.
When checking pressure are you pulling the lever quickly or slower so pressure doesn’t spike. Possible if pulling lever quick you could see a spike and then decay but suspect would decay pretty quickly. Dropping 800 PSI does not sound normal.
I suggest finding out what the pressure should be on...
Do you have a test light or volt meter? If yes I would check for voltage to the PTO switch. If power there Then I would unplug the connection to the electric clutch and check for voltage there. If power at switch and no power at clutch then suspect a safety switch. I am unsure of how many safety...
What caused the over pressure and has that problem been resolved? Are you sure the pump is unloaded at start up or when no functions are being used? A fixed displacement pump starting dead headed will not prime as well as an unloaded pump flowing back to tank. What you have described sounds like...
If you can’t shift out of front wheel assist that sounds like problem in rear end vs front axle assembly. Depending on your mechanical skills might have to remove top of transaxle to see if there is anything obvious broken.
Was it the front tires not turning or rear tires? Reason for asking is the front axle was assembled incorrectly on my 2400H which caused the front tires to randomly lock up while in 2 wheel drive.
Yes prices to remove trees have sky rocketed and even worse is getting someone to honor their bid in a timely fashion. Glad you could do you own mine is way to big at 5ft dia only 30 ft from house for me to drop. Also three fences and five other trees in the way.
I could not see any “potential” pressure port options either. As a option you could put it in one of the quick disconnects for the loader and then operate that function. That will provide a pretty good idea of the loader circuit pressure.
I would be concerned on why the pump shaft broke since this points towards over pressure and or loss of lubrication.
I would suggest investing in a pressure gauge and some fitting so that you can monitor the outlet pressure of the pump. Should be minimal with no functions being operated. If...
