thats a good strategy. Honey, this tractor wont lift what I need to lift so we need another one to get the job done. More fun that way.

I went and picked up a couple Toro Workman which appeared to be junk. Having trouble loading them is what started this thread. Wife's always glad to assist in me getting rid of accumulated junk. I try not to bore Her with trivia like those Toro's didn't belong to me.
She was glad to see them go!

Just as an update, it appears that the joystick valve has worn the lift part of the little square block and that is why it doesn't want to lift anything must less it's rated capacity.
The new part is a little over $330 plus shipping, so at some point I will need to order one and change it out. Since I have the John Deere 2555 with loader, no sense getting in a hurry to order the part.

If it were me, I would check my current valve for size and hose placements and do a bit of shopping. I looked at Summit Hydraulics and an 11 gpm (flow rate of your tractor according to tractordata.com) joystick valve is less than the price of the part you indicated.
