I agree with PTSG in the problem appears to be in the centering spring can assembly area. Could be as simple as end cap is full of crud. Maybe try loosening those two screws a little and shooting some penetrating oil inside that cover to see if it flushes something out.

When you were moving the spool did it feel like there was any position when there was no spring resistance or a sudden change in resistance? Does the float detent work properly? I am not sure if the end of that cap is supposed to turn freely or not.

With tractor off and loader on the ground Totally disconnect the control cable from the valve and then push and pull the spool and see if it returns to center or feels different one direction vs the other. If centering spring is not working you should be able to feel it. If no danger of getting...

Suspect the load on the park pin kept it from disengaging fully when you parked on that hill. Used to have same problem with our 2510. We learned to do everything you could to not put it in park under much of a load. Had to use another tractor to pull in slightly once to get it to come out of...

Is it linkage or electrical? I think the newer power shifts are all electric but not sure if quad range. I think all of the larger Deere 8000 & 9000 series models just have park with no brake lock. Nothing sure on the smaller ones but I know our old 1968 2510 Deere just had park with no brake lock.

If suction screen is plugged the pump would be noisy and sound like a rock crusher. Could be seals leaking on one lift cylinder or system relief is opening a little to soon. A pressure gauge would answer that question Does curl seem to have same force as always? If yes then that points...

I agree with tractor tech to check linkage between the joystick and directional valve. Nothing in the valve itself should cause that movement problem

Deere parts show the 6430 premium having a variable volume load sense pump so the loader valve should be closed center with load sense to work correctly on the 6430.

Compression test will tell you if valves are out of adjustment. pull the fuel line that goes to the carb and place that in a container then crank engine over to see if you get good fuel flow. Diaphragm pumps can and do fail. Also can be vacuum leak in line from engine to fuel pump or vacuum...

I can’t tell from the picture if those are some form of valve on the top of that block or just fittings with cap or plug in them? Are there any markings on those items? If curled back does the bucket stay curled or dump some? When trying to curl do you hear any difference in sound of the...

If this is a pressure hose I would verify the splice is designed for your brand of hose since not all hose is made to the same specs on ID & OD. Most good hydraulic hose shops won’t crimp new fitting on old hose or at least they won’t in this area.

I just left the bolts out on mine since I wanted them to pivot like the ball end allows. Had them on the BX and now the 2400H.

How wide of an implement would you be pulling and on what type of roads. In farm country away from cities I would not think twice about driving that distance. If close to larger towns/ cities and there are a lot of citidiots that becomes a problem since there cell phone screen is more important...

Doubtful 50 amps would run the power unit to dump the trailer but you would have to look at the specs for the unit on the trailer.

I suspect neighbors may feel the same about me 😁

What did the tips of the injectors look like? I replaced injectors on my A1100N and just the tip in the combustion chamber had carbon on the. The brass sealing rings prevented any carbon in the injector bore like yours has.

I have a home made thumb type grapple that I bolt on top of my loader bucket. I can haul more brush easier with than I can with forks. Do you have any friends with a grapple that you can watch being used? Depending on style they will crush a pile of brush significantly.

If I remember correctly there is an air temp sensor and engine temp sensor that both communicate with the injection control There is a sensor on right side of air filter base that slips into a rubber grommet. I would have to look at service manual but that might be the air temp sensor...

98 hrs is just getting broken in so like Indy said look it over trust your gut.

Any automotive drive line shop can cut a PTO shaft. Decent implement dealer should have the capability also.

If that model has two or three speed transaxle there is neutral between each range so could be towed in neutral as long as no chance could pop into gear.

Fuel injected should start much better than that. I believe the main control sensor is located on left side of engine in the plate under air filter. The Deere service manual does a good job of explaining how to check the various sensors and where they are located. Also tells how to check fuel...

Is there more than one hole for the spanner? If yes I used an air hammer with punch bit in one hole while someone is pulling on the spanner. Vibration sometimes does wonders.

Did you check for spark? Will it restart right away?

Other thing to check is the push pull cable. Is it binding or buckling trying to push spool to detent position

Do you need the tractor for moving brush while chipping? If yes then separate tow behind might be an advantage. I have not used a PTO chipper of that size but see no reason they would be a problem for a tractor unless they require tractor hydraulics for infeed rollers and that causes tractor...

Are these sealed full jugs? If yes should be minimal concerns about condensation contamination if open partial jugs then maybe a little concern about condensation.

If you have an infrared heat gun check the housing temperatures after driving for awhile. If a motor is going bad it will be hotter than the others.

Float can be added via externally mounted electrical valves but depending on tractor and loader might be less expensive and easier to replace the loader valve.

My thoughts: Reference for working with right hand thread bolts. Turn right or clockwise to tighten and left or counterclockwise to loosen.

I am a little surprised that spout didn’t float since it is plastic.

Another use for grandkids… Couple of cookies and send em home

What color or finish you looking for? If like around here you won’t find anything white in stock we had to wait 6 weeks to a new fridge. Stainless was very limited options. My first choice is Whirlpool, second was GE neither were inexpensive and all had way to many bells and whistles. Good luck...

I tried looking at the parts break down link but it looked like there may be different plumbing options based on serial number. How many hoses connect to the loader valve? I suspect 7 but again not sure in looking at the parts diagram. If 7 there is a line than runs from the power beyond port...

Yes, you need a tandem center valve if it is a D03 or D05 subplate mounted valve.

If you have any significant slopes or hills I suspect you will be lacking on traction to pull a 4 row planter. What type of soil do you have on your acreage? Lighter sandy soil or heavy clay loam? That will make a big difference in implements you can pull.

Is the engine losing power or the transmission? From your original post it could be either.

Harry Per schematic the OP had in the attachments on his first post charge relief is 100 - 150 PSI so this system is way low. The unknown is why and how to diagnose.

Be careful increasing the charge pressure since both the filter and cooler will see the increased pressure and if go to high could damage one of those items. Is there any type of inspection plate that you can remove on the transaxle to look for oil flow while tractor is running? I know this...

Do the track drives work? I believe some of the Cub Cadets had some form of individual track drive for steering and if these are bad maybe more expensive to fix than carb issues?

Studying the schematic it shows case drain lines for both the pump and motor. Light blue lines on schematic. I tried looking at Deere parts diagrams but I could not determine if these are external lines or just drain directly into the transaxle housing. If external and accessible can you pull...

My current home is slightly over 1,500 sq ft ranch with 1 1/2 baths 2 - 3 bedroom. I believe 3 people could live here easily since it is an L shape so kind of provides two separate areas for wife and I when we want to watch different shows, have friends over, etc..

If steering is working it is highly unlikely the pump is the problem. Yes teeing into the line from the cooler should show similar 30 PSI. Yes on suspecting a problem inside the transaxle HST assembly. If pure mechanical control the HST should try to move even with low charge. Would probably...

Looking at the schematics you posted the charge relief would be the most likely culprit since they normally fail open but you have already checked that. Does HST make any strange noises when trying to move. Next check would be a flowmeter in the line from the cooler to the HST. This will tell...

Per an old Aeroquip fitting handbook that fitting with O-ring could be a DIN 3902 DKO style fitting. The hand book is 24 years old so very good chance there are other variations out there now.

If my memory is correct service manual has a procedure for checking the temp sending unit. I believe it has an ohm range from cold to running temp. Another thing to check is the instrument cluster ground connection(s). This may or may not affect the fuel gauge.

I also saw the opposite where inexperienced people would take radiator cap off to fill with diesel. I understand why deere put the fuel tank in front of the radiator for weight but it certainly required people paying attention so didn’t fill with wrong fluid.

What areas did you spray with the pressure washer? Just the transaxle area or the engine also? I believe all 445 are fuel injected so A quick check for fuel pressure is turn key to on so fuel pump runs for 2 - 3 seconds but do not try to start. Now remove air filter and look down throttle body...

As a dairy Farmer we worked 7 days a week with a short day starting at 5:00 AM and ending at 8:00 PM so I have no sympathy for someone working 80 hrs week. Highly doubt dock workers did more manual labor or operated equipment that was much more dangerous than farm equipment.

Another leak detection method is sprinkle some baby powder around the area the powder shows leak point very quickly.

Reach under that axle and feel for oil. If wet it is leaking somewhere in that area.

If you get on the ground and look up at the bottom of the tractor you might have a better idea of where the leak is coming from. Could be the input shaft seal going into the transaxle, could be mid PTO if your tractor has that feature, etc.

I haves Pats quick hitch which moves three point back around 3 to 4 inches. This keeps PTO shaft longer so less angle when blower is raised and lowered. Without that extra length I think PTO shaft would have to little engagement and full raise and lower.

I live in the UAW union belt area and agree with your points on unions have gone to far but on the side of the coin companies are going extreme of expecting 60 hours work for 40 hrs pay so just can’t seem to find that middle ground.

On some models of tractors with fixed displacement pump the loader valve supplies oil to the rear remotes and 3 point. All the valves are in series. Depending on the loader valve design the loader may have limited lift capabilities if the rear remotes or 3 point are also requiring pressure If...

My hearing is bad so not sure on sound but did you try lowering the 3 point a little and double check that all the rear remotes are in neutral or center position?

I believe Deere calls there transmission and IVT Vs CVT but are basically same style tranny. Both Fendt and Deere build tractors with this style of tranny, other brands may also. My experience is with JD power shifts is they jerk every forth gear but have been around for years and I have not...

Yes this requires a longer spool for the 4th position and detent assembly. No clue if parts for 5210 would work on 5300. Whole valve might mount in same place.

How would dirt in the fibers of synthetic rope affect life? I have read that is a concern for tow ropes like yankem after being in mud. May or may not be mud involved in log skidding but could certainly visualize the rope being drug on ground when pulling rope out by hand to hook the next log.

For the #8 SAE ORB 3/4-16 thread you need a 908 Industry standard for ORB O-rings is 9+ size of port #6 = 906 #8 = 908 Etc. Sometimes there will be 2 in front like 2-908

The way I read the specs is weight capacity is 3,000 lbs so if your skid steer or tractor loader is rated for 4,000 the week link will eventually be found.

The key will be exposed when you pull the pulley off. The only difference between tapered keyed shaft and straight key like electric motor is the taper is held in place with that nut and taper also helps transmit torque. Straight key the key transmits all the torque. Another option is IF...

Possibly try lowering the 3 point a little to see if this makes a difference. On some models of tractors if the feed back lever for 3 point is slightly out of adjustment it will keep the pump loaded so operating the loader empty would relief this load. Another simple test would be to curl the...

Danica, The key is to keep the pulley from spinning on the shaft. With tapered shaft part of the load torque is absorbed by the taper fit, key absorbs the rest. The key is not spring loaded in fact you typically have to drive them out with a punch. Since that appears to be cast pulley heat the...

There is nothing to rebuild inside the valve but the centering spring and detent assembly under the cap or cover can fill with crud and not allow the spool to move properly. Also double check linkage from joystick to the valve spool to confirm it is working properly.

Drawing shows tapered shaft with wood ruff key. Pulley might come off if you can get puller jaws in the slots. I would suggest threading the nut back on part way since with tapered shaft they can suddenly break loose and jump up at you with surprising force. Heat may help break it loose with...

I believe there is post in the Branson with service and parts manuals. I have the service manual for my 2400H and it does not cover the engine. That is a separate manual.

Mid mount mower is what I use mine for. Not sure if Branson offered front mount snow blower but that is another possible option.

You looking for help on the engine or tiller frame? H50 looks like an older Tecumseh engine model and they went out of bussiness a few years ago. If you have the model number of the tiller Deere has a good parts breakdown website.

It appears to be connected via blue tooth to a phone or tablet providing information on elevation or grade to the operator. Does not appear to be any connection to actual machine controls. Looks like you have to set multiple bases for feedback to unit on equipment. Not sure but suspect GPS is...

Yes they can be filled but you may notice a stiffer ride since the fluid fill slows the tire flex some. Air compresses while water has to be moved to compress the air in the tire. Smaller air volume equals greater pressure change with tire movement.

I know there are some companies using sensors mounted on equipment for bucket position control but have not seen them as an add on. I suspect it all comes down to how the sensors are positioned and calibrated to the machine. Not much different than laser guidance since that is also bucket...

Since happening more when warm or hot would check compression on both cylinders when cold and then again when hot. This should tell you if you have a compression issue vs spark or if your luck is like mine a little of each😁 I thought newer Kawis had the anti-backfire solenoid on the carb but...

Depends on how the thumb is plumbed along with types of valves in the thumb circuit. Does it drop or interfere when you are digging or release when using the thumb to hold something? If not and no external leaks on the ground I personally would not worry to much.

Agree use your judgement since to tight may cost you more that a 1/4” shear bolt.

Do you have an air hammer - chisel. I have had some success keeping some tension on the end wrench and use a blunt nose punch in air hammer against the wrench. Vibration helped break them loose. I ground a rounded slot in a punch to kind of fit on wrench handle and assist in not sliding off.

It has been 20+ years since I worked with Disogrin so memory is very faded but if memory is correct it was less pliable than buna n but did have some memory and would return to size after being stretched.

Business cards work well for gapping coils. Be surprised if mice didn’t chew the wires also.

You need to look at how the fitting seals and also measure thread diameter and pitch. There are just many thread styles to even try and guess anymore. Examples are BSPP, JIS 30 degree flare, metric, etc. My Branson has JIS 30 degree flare which looks similar to JIC 37 degree but do not...

Disogrin was also used for rod wipers and that position on the spool is kind of a combination rod wiper and low (tank) pressure seal. Agree who knows if original on a machine of that age.

What do you mean by shield? The cover that goes over the male PTO stub on the tractor or the shield on the PTO shaft between the tractor and implement? Is cover on the stub no not in use Shield on the shafts yes.

Hiding from predators looking for nesting area? Fortunate didn’t chew insulation off the wires or short something out.

Since fine when hot and problem cold have you confirmed choke is closing fully. Have limited experience with Stihl but it seems like every 2 stroke I have ever used had its own procedure to start. This one prime 3 times and pull and running, next one prime 5 or 6 times to get it to maybe...

Ronin Do they feel like different material that plain ole nitrile (buna N) rubber. Disogrin (spelling?) polyurethane is a material we used years ago but I do not remember the color but do remember it did not feel like standard rubber. I believe had better wear properties in high temp...

Suspect missing the breather part of the vent but not certain how Yanmar made that part

Are those round seals like standard O-ring or more of a rectangular seal like a rod wiper? I have seen a yellowish material used for seals but do not recall what material they were.

If slowly getting worse would also suggest a compression test to see if you are losing compression on one cylinder. A test for losing spark is pull a plug wire off while engine is running. You can tell quickly if engine misses or quits.

Is it hard starting both cold and when hot? Can you check spark cold and when engine and coil are hot. Sometimes heat will make electronic ignition coils weaker so might repeat might help point towards a possible cause if spark changes noticeably with temperature.

Tinhack All of the ORFS fitting I have seen have a groove for the seal to sit in and not a simple counter bore. The ORFS seals are typically a very thin cross section and would get sucked into the flow path unless that is a tapered bottom counterbore. Agree on no clue what Chinese use

Where are the O-rings in those fittings? The ORFS fittings I have seen and used have a groove for the O-ring not a counterbore like those. Maybe try Thomkins (spelling) or Parker. They both have a vast selection of fitting styles.

When you say disconnected the piston rod does that mean you disconnected the cylinder from the lift linkage and the mower deck still did not lower? If yes that would indicate the lift linkage is mechanically bound up since the deck should have dropped like a rock without the cylinder being...

Was this a sudden change in running to not running or something that has slowly gotten worse? Does this have separate choke? If yes if you slowly apply some choke does it run better or worse? If this is a twin cylinder does it sound like missing on one cylinder?

I gave never seen Galtech here in the US but will do a little snooping to see if they show any distribution or sales here. Is Galtech and Walvoil the same company? If yes the only walvoil I found did not have load checks.

It has been way to many years since I have been around one of those tractors but believe they are a single acting cylinder so power up and gravity down but since you say has float I could easily be wrong. Can you see the lift cylinder? If yes does it have two hydraulic lines to it or one? If...

Some valves meter better than others and also have less spool leakage which slows loader drift. Revving tractor won’t help lowering speed at all. I have been looking for a good metering 5 GPM loader valve for years with no luck. Most are rated for around 12 GPM and the little CUTs are usually...

Float is nice for tilt feature if you are wanting the attachment to follow the contour of the ground.

Hissing with 3 point fully raised sounds like the feed back mechanism for 3 point may need some adjustment. If adjusted properly the 3 point should stop lifting and unload the pump at minimal pressure. Your description sounds like it is not fully unloading the pump. Loader lift: have you ever...

I do not believe there is any chart available showing year of manufacture vs serial number.

When you had muffler removed could you look into the cylinder bore to see if it was scratched? Since you say is old just another thought on things to check. 95 PSI sounds like on low side but like you not sure what it should be. Does this model have primer bulb? If yes does it fill with gas...

I presume no grease zerks on these pivot pins?

Maybe 3rd time will be a charm… All companies have some problem vehicles. How the dealer and company respond would be the deciding factors for me. If they fix existing and provide loaner while yours is in the shop vs we might get it fixed some time. 3 months seems a tad long and bigger question...

Sounds like a classic case of “no good deed shall go unpunished” 😂😂 Maybe PTSG has some info on Landini

Drain hydraulic reservoir and refill with fresh oil if gas was put in hydraulic reservoir.

They can but I would first look to verify there are leaks between carb and intake and that there are no other vacuum leaks into the crankcase. Any leaks in crankcase will cause 2 stroke to run lean and be hard starting. Is plug getting wet when doesn’t start? Like others have stated also...

If clutch is a dry clutch in bell housing between engine and HST tranny housing you may not have to drain it. You would most likely have to remove a couple of hydraulic lines that may want to drain it though. If these can be removed and ports plugged again you may have a chance.

A word of caution on threshing grain inside of a building is that under certain conditions the dust can be explosive. I have clue exactly what those conditions are but the explosion usually is quite dramatic. In the old days people used to build shocks of grain both for drying and transport...

If this a 2-stroke engine I doubt there is any valves to adjust. Might be a reed valve between carb and crankcase.

How many lines or hoses are connected between tractor and three point? Does back hoe operate properly? What you describing sounds like possible problem on how the back hoe valve is configured or connected.

Are smaller pull type more common in Europe vs USA? I know 50+ years ago we had small pull type Alis Chalmers on the farm but they have pretty much gone out of existence.

Kaizer, In the Branson section of these forums is a post started by Asteral that has a majority of the service and parts manuals available to down load. I believe you would be looking for the 10 series information. The Hydraulics section does NOT show the loader valve but it does show where it...

Not sure if feasible but what would it take to add a swivel joint on your 3 point aerator. This is common on two point or semi-mounted equipment but don’t think have ever seen it on full 3 point mount. Just throwing out crazy armchair ideas😳

Are you getting pressure past that quick disconnect? Reason for asking is that they have been known to fail. If you have schematic can you post it? That might help us understand your system and also aide in suggestions on where to look for the problem item.

Per the local weather we are around 3” behind normal in August and so far very little in September. If like most years will start raining about harvest time.

Sounds like you need a paint smell dispenser 😁 But then she might have permanent headache

Dual pumps is common, one for steering and the other for implements You state one is connected to case of 3 point and then a nozzle to hose to joystick. What do you mean by “nozzle”? We have told you multiple times that on most tractors the 3 point is the last item in line to get oil. Flow...

I am not familiar with your tractor but would suggest follow the pressure line from the pump. It should lead you to either a block mounted on the trans housing or straight to the loader valve. Then the loader valve should have a total of seven lines connected to it. 1 for pressure in 1 for tank...

Curious to see if we get any rain from this storm in northern Illinois. Stay safe down there on the coast.

To verify switches are operating you would have to unplug the wires and confirm the contacts are opening and closing. The switch on my clutch got water in it and froze first year I owned so cut the wires off the switch and wire nutted them together until dealer got a replacement. They kept my...

On some tractors if the three point control is slightly out of adjustment lowering the 3 point will allow the loader to work. Like both Harry and I have stated you do not appear to be getting flow from power beyond to the 3 point. The unknown is what changed to create this problem?

Have you replaced both halves of both quick disconnects for the curl dump? Is problem it won’t curl back or won’t dump? Try feathering the control to move the bucket as slow as possible. Does it work now. If yes try slowly increasing movement speed. If suddenly stops moving this also points...

Out of curiosity what don’t you like about the 3 point unit? My first thought is ability to turn a corner. Are there additional problems?

My grandfather had a flat belt jack shaft in his blacksmith shop that ran several different tools like drill press, large grinder, blower for the forge, some type of drop hammer, etc. He also had belt driven wooden shingle saw and wooden barrel stave saw. Unfortunately all this equipment was...

What type of trees and brush in what type of soil? If deep tap roots in hard soil will the pincher type grip good enough to pull a 3” tree? I have one for my 2400H which is smaller tractor and some times just peels the bark off and other times pulls them right out. For brush clumps the puncher...

Out is only half the problem how are you going to a replacement post back in the hole unless you go with smaller diameter and can you get concrete back in the hole to keep the post rigid?

Lou you are correct that flow in GPM is speed while differential pressure across the motor is torque.

Watch the hoses closely when movement stops. If both hoses to curl & dump stiffen the problem is in return side of circuit. I.e. if won’t dump then on rod side quick disconnect. Either half can fail on quick disconnects.

On my 2400H I believe there is a switch on the clutch, PTO and possibly the forward reverse pedals to confirm in neutral. Check the PTO switch operation it is located on left side (as sitting on tractor) under the seat and can be seen with seat tipped forward. Possible a stick or something got...

Worthington ag parts is a large company with several locations that specializes is used equipment parts. One problem might be identifying the broken part if it doesn’t show on a parts break down. Good luck on your search.

I would suspect a faulty quick disconnect but like Harry states need a little more information.

If air going thru pump the pump would be very noisy anytime trying move a load under pressure and not just when a cylinder bottoms out. This noise would be at the pump. Like Harry states sounds like a relief valve doing its job. Note: If like Harry stated you have a main relief in diverter block...

When was on dairy farm had 3 tractors put over 500 hrs on each of them. Today around 100 hrs on Branson and 60 - 70 on X540. Hours are dependent on rain fall for mowing and snow fall in winter.

Only difference I could see between bucket and pusher is that with bucket you could potentially transfer a little more weight to the front wheels since lifting the bucket also lifts some snow. My son built a pusher for his X749 Deere and he liked it better that a blower for smaller light snows...

Snow pushers are like snow blowers in that the consistency of the snow makes a big difference in weight and power required to operate them. Light dry fluffy snow suspect you would have little to no problem with that pusher. Wet heavy snow and I suspect you would run out of traction quick. No...

The valve with solenoid and blue name plate is a diverter valve. The unknown is how this is plumbed but suspect connected to the curl dump on main joystick loader valve. De-energized the loader curls and dumps, energized the 3 rd function operates via joy stick curl dump movement. If one of...

If you are certain lines are connected properly I would then start disconnecting each hose end to confirm the hose ends are drilled completely thru and not blocking the flow. On leaking hose is it leaking around the crimp? If yes then not crimped properly or bad section of hose or hose end...

Zork The load check on most valves would not see load induced pressure unless pressure is leaking past the spool. The load check is there to prevent the loader from dropping before raising when trying to feather the control. If had load holding checks on the work port then yes they would be...

Didn’t read article but looking at that sign he was not traveling slow like dumping and spreading a load.

My first thought is that you somehow got a couple of hoses connected wrong. Do you have the ability to label which hoses you replaced on those pictures and then say what they connect to. Maybe from that we can assist you on figuring this problem out.

Have a grandpas and it is a hit miss for dandelions on pulling the root. Also a problem in my soil is you have to manual scrape and pull the clods out if used when to damp and doesn’t work well if ground is hard either. Still beats trying to pull or dig them with small spade while bent over or...

My 2400H either fluid is an option per the manual. I use gear oil since that is what was in it from the factory.

Timm Was the lack of movement a sudden change or something that gradually got worse?

Do all of the blades stop turning or just the one? Are there individual slip clutches for each blade?

Rasor Glad it was something that simple and really appreciative of letting us know what resolved the problem

Since direct mount joystick would point towards a problem in the centering spring and detent assembly located at the other end of the valve. Only other thing is if some foreign particle got caught between the spool and valve housing since the only O-rings are on each of the spool to keep oil...

Is the valve direct operated by joystick or via a cable? If cable they have been known to go bad. If exposed linkage between joystick and valve I would check for something binding.

How is your wood splitter hydraulically connected to the tractor? Just curious if either a valve is not centered or a hose is not reconnected properly to “loop” the flow back to the 3 point

I would suspect leaking seals on the tilt cylinder pistons. A quick simple test is to lower the bucket to the ground. Unplug both quick disconnects for the tilt cylinders. Then raise the loader and let it sit for a period of time. If it tilts or dumps one or both of the tilt cylinders has a...

Is this something that happened gradually over time or a sudden change? Does it sound like missing on one cylinder or just engine RPM’s drop?

Is there no travel power in either direction? If I remember correctly the BX had a single pump with priority flow control. The priority flow was for steering and then was charge flow for the HST. Does the steering work? There have been reports in the past of the priority valve failing.

Fracture Were you operating the loader when you performed the temperature test? If yes my guess is the pump is fine and problem is elsewhere. If pump is slipping so much nothing moves it will heat up fairly quickly.

The two single acting cylinders for swing are the same function as one double acting. Withe the two as one cylinder extends the other retracts so a standard double acting valve works just fine.

Depends on what you are trying to do with your tractor determines if you see a difference in performance. Loader work or work requiring traction you will see a difference.

Eaton now Danfoss used to sell a Hydraulic self leveling block option you could purchase as an add on but it was a hit n miss success since you must know cylinder volume ratios vs raise height. Most of these kits only leveled on raise also.

Is the pump visible and accessible? If yes use a thermal heat gun or your hand to see if the pump housing gets warm quickly compared to inlet line. If yes then potential is bypassing internally. If no then need to check next item in the system. Some tractors have a diverter block usually mounted...

For the swing function yes you can use curl dump if repeat if you do not have regen dump feature. I set my western plow up so that curl function or moving joystick to left swings to the left and dump swings to the right. Yes I would install a cross port relief on the swing cylinders. The lift...

Do you know how the relief valve is plumbed on motor one. Does it just pass oil from inlet to outlet of that motor? If yes then what you are seeing is the combined work load of both motors since on most relief valves tank pressure is directly additive to the set point. Are your gauges liquid...

Does it work if you try lowering the 3 point a little? Possible with the 3 pointed it is not quite reaching full height so still trying to raise which could prevent the loader from raising.

The main key that I have found is being on lever ground and preferably concrete or surface hard enough the support stands don’t sink. If not level it becomes far more challenging.

I believe you are correct on the A-B curve since that should follow the path you created. Have only used that function once though so memory could be wrong once again.

I have had a piece of branch get wedged into pulley causing the belt to destroyed. It puts a lot of extra vibration into the belt and pulley but didn’t destroy the pulley. If pulley started to work loose it certainly could have wallowed out the keyway. Hopefully new pulley and belt is all you need.

Where is the fuel tank in relation to the fuel pump or lift pump on your tractor? If lifting fuel from top of the tank then would look at a possible down tube issue. If drawing from bottom of tank would then possibly look at is loft pump getting weak and unable to lift fuel?

Do you need to lift and carry the brush hog? I never even connect the top link on my 5 ft woods since on basically flat ground. The 2400H does not lift high enough to utilize the top link swivel assembly on this woods mower. if I tighten (shorten) the top link enough to lift the rear of the...

Does it seem to have full power and full travel speed when moving in reverse when hot?

Backup ring should have size number as the O-ring.

What size material are you wanting to chip? I have a PTO driven unit for my tractor with approx 19 HP available. Green limbs 3 to 4” is pushing the limit and does spit out some uncut twigs. We use this in areas were looks are not critical since is not the same texture as store bought wood chip...

Yes you should hear the valve shifting when you push the button. No clue how the 3rd function is wired but the correct way would be on a fused circuit.

I chose to use JD hygard in mine since is small volume of oil and have JD dealers in every town around here. I am not a fan of using generic oils on hydrostatic drives. They may be fine but for four gallons of oil is savings enough?? Would also recommend using factory filter since once is a...

Yes their was a recall on the 2400 a few years ago. The explanation I received from my dealer was that the 2400 was producing more power than listed 24 HP with original injectors so put it into a different emissions class and at that time was mentioned about injectors failing or being carboned...

If your 5000 is like the one we had their is an oil passage in the transmission housing that feeds the valve bank on the plate the seat bolts to. The O-ring that seals this failed on ours and caused loss of pressure. If my memory is correct their is an inspection plate below the brake pedals on...

As a point of reference The 2400H holds a little over 3 gallons. I don’t remember exactly how much. On mine you have to pull the dipstick, wipe it off and then recheck since the tube will occasionally trap oil and give you a false reading. Also do not recall volume required to go from add to...

A winch is a nice feature in terrain that you can’t safely drive on like hill sides or low swampy ground.

I modified a western truck mount snow plow to mount on frame of my tractor. I use the hydraulic connections for loader to operate the plow. Pull two pins and disconnect four hoses and drop plow and can then attach loader. Even mounted that close it Still pushes front of tractor sideways in heavy...

What is your intended use? Will the hi flow be something you use?

I have no experience with Bars Hydraulic sealant but suspect it has some chemical(s) that react with nitrile seal material to cause it to soften and possibly swell to stop leaks past seals. Doubt it is intended to stop drips from a leaking fitting.

If only happens when blades are spinning would definitely point towards the deck vs motor. I would start looking very, very closely at the pulleys and belts for any signs of strange wear. A pulley face slightly touching something metal could squeal.

Does the squeal happen when you are mowing or just sitting stationary with deck running or both? Does this happen with just the engine running without the deck engaged?

Well it has been a couple months and rough start, poor idle, excessive smoke came back far worse that previous so broke down and ordered a set of new injectors that I installed Sunday. Was pleasantly surprised when there was a note with the new injectors stating the fluid used to test them can...

If you can get an accurate hydraulic schematic it should identify which valve section controls each function. If no schematic then you are going to have to make your own by following hoses from joystick to valve sections and hoses from valve sections to function they operate. Then hope the...

When it gets to 125 sell!!!! I can hardly imagine how miserable that is.

Would ya do us northerners a favor and keep that humid crap down south [emoji16][emoji16] Both humidity and dew points been in the mid sixties low 70’s last couple weeks.

I am no expert on Yanmars but Needle valve typically just prevents the 3 point from lowering but usually has no effect on raise. I think some models of Yanmers had a diverter valve below the seat but again bot sure. Hopefully a yanny expert will respond and say I am nuts or am close.

Thanks for posting the resolution to your problem. Depending on the style of 3rd function valve their may not be many serviceable parts besides the coils. Do you have test light or volt meter? If confirm that you are getting full power to the coil to shift the valve and that there in no power...

Can you post a picture of the valve and leak location? If the leak around the spools where they go into the cast valve body would point towards possibly having something connected wrong. That area should be tank pressure and never see pressure.

Is this true 3rd function that is NOT controlled by curl dump movement. If yes then suspect Harry may be on the right track. Is 3 rd function plumbed before or after the FEL valve? If before would definitely point that direction if after should only effect 3 point and not loader.

Glad you found a solution and got things working again.

Are those galvanized pipe elbows in that picture of the valve. If yes get rid of the galvanized fittings since it will flake off and contaminate your system. Other problem is they probably are not rated for your system operating pressure. Since new problem could be spool not centering and a...

My friend had one of those Honda riders and it was a dependable machine. He passed away a few years ago but I do not recall having any problems with finding parts. I do recall there was some adjustments on the mower deck clutch that required occasional tuning but not a difficult task. For that...

There is also a standard that uses 30 degree cone that looks similar to JIC 37 degree cone. It is JIS 30 degree with parallel pipe threads 1/4” size 1/4-19 thd 13.2 mm OD 3/8” size 3/8-19 thd 16.7 mm OD

Pdi Is the loader valve direct operated via joy stick or cable operated via remote joy stick? If cable operated they have been known to bind up and not allow the spool to spring center properly. If you can see the end of the spool where the linkage connects observe both spools to see if they...

What was all that crud on the suction screen? From picture it almost looks like rag lint mixed with sludge. If yes you may need to clean and flush the system again and possibly a couple more times to get it cleaned up. Also need to determine what caused it to be so dirty and fix that problem...

Could also be the piston seals on the curl cylinders. If your tractor has quick disconnects in the hoses for curl lower the bucket to the ground. Unplug both hoses going to the curl cylinders. Now raise the loader and see if the bucket dumps. If yes the piston seals are leaking on one or both...

Wouldn’t it have to be pumping the oil into the intake to make the engine run away? Was this oil line going to the turbo if that tractor has a turbo? If yes would be curious if oil pressure went to high could it force oil into the intake side of turbo causing a run away? This is pure speculation...

From memory I could push the lever on the fuel pump but my memory could be wrong.

Purchased my place in 2009 and spent lots of time at county offices trying to confirm legal boundaries so could build onto the house. Got everything surveyed and approved, legal description all cleared up. Three years later neighbor dies that shared the west boundary and for some reason area was...

Does that model have a separate starter solenoid or is it part of the starter. If separate that internal contacts can corrode limiting amount of amperage it will pass. If accessible and away from battery a fuel tank try shorting across the two main terminals to if the starter spins. This will...

I have GE gas stove around 5 years old that there is very little flame adjustment for the burners and it stinks when you run the oven. Have 14 year Amana ( Whirlpool) fridge that needs replacing. Like you struggling with what brand to replace it with since no one stocks anything anymore.

Haven’t look that close at my manual but do believe that a lot is lost in translation from Korean to English. Service manual has similar issues.

My guess is this is the lawn mower and there is a safety switch circuit for that PTO. No clue on wire colors though.

No pictures but had drones doing fields behind my house and plane doing fields to east and west. Watched the two drones land and take off from trailer that had generator and chem tank. Didn’t time but would estimate around 8 - 10 minutes to spray a load and 1 - 2 minutes to reload chem and swap...

What type of cover crops will be the land you are trying to till? What type of soil? Tillers tend to wind up any grasses, stalks, vines, etc. and then you have to cut this stuff off the tines. Cutting or shredding before tilling helps eliminate this problem. A good offset disc will turn the...
