HI guys I recently had a hydraulic leak on the piston pump. I fixed the leak and added hydraulic oil and primed the pump. Went to working just fine. Have used it off and on for the last 4 days without a problem, but today I was bush hogging and the lift arms just dropped. It would not do anything so I tried to prime pump and when I took the plug out it shot out a lot of air. I could not get it to prime for quite a while, and then it started to pump, I put the plug back in and tried to lift and nothing. Took out plug again and more air pressure not able to get it to pump anything now. Some advice for finding the problem or some of your experience would be appreciated. Thanks Kenny

If you keep getting air in the system, then you have a suction leak.

Maybe tank is blocked..
