Hello,
I bought a 1998 Massey Ferguson 240 and am in the process of restoring it. The tractor has the factory auxiliary type hydraulic pump.
The 3 point lift did not initially work. I replaced the hydraulic fluid and cleaned the strainer filter. Both were quite nasty.
After starting up the tractor the lift worked, however it gradually slowed in speed over the course of 2-3 minutes until all movement stopped.
I drained the fluid and cleaned the filter a second time and experienced the same result: the lift worked for few minutes and then stopped.
Any ideas on what may be the issue?
