MF 1010 Hydraulic Problem

[rhugg]

Gear Drive MF1010, 2WD. My 3 pt is not raising properly. Typically someone has had the same problem and can direct me where to look. Control valve? Air in lines? Hydraulic pump? Heaven forbid its the hydraulic pump as they are no longer available. Can they be rebuilt? Where to start? I haven't used the tractor for a while so there is no indication I caused this.

have you have any luck? I just purchased the same tractor in the same condition.

Backed out of the purchase. I did some research and got nervous about parts availability. I was very close to offering $2000 with a 3pt mower and back blade.

I really suspect it was a water issue but I didn't want to take the risk. It wasn't as well maintained as yours looks... and I wanted 4wd.

Good luck.
