So, I have a D2000 and the hydraulics suddenly went soft. The pump is good, it will lift some weight but when I turn the tractor off, the 3pt hitch falls unless I have the valve under the seat closed. I have, through t-shooting, determined that's it's probably leaking int he control valve, etc. I got it all apart and sure enough, there was gunk in the valve and the o-rings were pretty much flat. I can get o-ring replacements at a local hydraulics shop but my problem is that I'm an idiot. I took the valve components apart and laid them out in a relatively ordered manner on my workbench. Then life happened and 2 weeks passed before I could get back to it. When I go back to the project yesterday someone had been in my shop messing around and moved some of the parts "out of order" (read that as it appears that they just swept everything aside so that they could have some space on the bench for some project). I have 3 grown sons but nobody remembers doing it. Anyway. . . I need the parts catalog or some exploded picture of the hydraulic control valve. The valve body has a whole for these parts and then a flat circular panel screws down flush over that hole. The hole beside it houses the shaft that connects to the arm on the quadrant that you pull to lift and lower the hydraulics.
I know it's only a few parts but I can't for the life of me remember what order and/or direction they went into that blasted hole. Any help appreciated.
