I just changed all fluids and filters and afterwards drove the tractor back to the barn all seemed normal. A couple days later I went to hook up the bush hog and noticed that it seemed to lag when I put it in gear and after “sluggish”. The engine was running fine.
I drove the 200 yards back to the barn and shut it down, I checked hydraulic and engine oil coolant levels and oil appearance, everything looked fine.
Upon restarting the tractor I discovered that the problems were worse! The FEL seemed to be working ok but no forward or reverse… and now whine coming from the hydraulic pump. I shut it down immediately upon hearing the noise.
I’m concerns that the hydraulic pump is/has died, if this is the case I’m suspicious of the timing being right after a fluid and filter change, mainly, did I do something wrong?
Where do I go from here?
