I jammed up a brush cutter in a creek and it busted the rear of my hydraulic lift housing out. Does anyone know if that can be repaired (probably not since it is where the 3rd arm for the lift attaches) or where I can get a new or used housing?

Thanks to Affordable Tractors I have a new, complete lift unit. However, after I installed the new unit and added new fluid I do not have any hydraulic pressure on the 3PT or the FEL. Anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to bleed the system to get the air out? I connected everything back the way that it was on the old unit, don't notice any fluid escaping anywhere.

I ended up bleeding the system at the top of the FEL control box. Once the fluid started coming out I tightened it up and the FEL and 3PT started working. Now, to go back out there and get my brush cutter. This time I will go around the creek and not through it!
