Goodmorning all,

I am new to the cite and a first time tractor owner. I have a 1997 MF 231 that seems to be a pretty good tractor in general.
The bucket tilt cylinder on right side was bad when I bought it but I have repacked it and it works fine. My problem is the hydralic
system seems to have started to pulsate. When I raise the 3 point with a boxblade/ripper it shakes the whole tractor. Anyone
know what the problem might be?

Check Hydraulic fluid level and filter. Ken Sweet

If the fluid and filter don't work, you most likely need a scotch yoke pump rebuild. Maybe some sort of miracle juice like marvel mystery oil can help free those chambers up.

Get your A-frame ready. The heat is in your tools.
