Shibaura 2843 Three Point Hitch Lift Help

[dlrides]

Owned this tractor for a few years, never any issues. While bush-hogging a few days ago the TPH starting lifting slower, then stopped lifting at all. I can make it lift with no rear attachment, at full throttle only. The FEL works fine, so I think the hydraulic pressure is good. Hydraulic oil is fairly fresh, and level is good. This tractor has the solenoid activators with a manual overide lever, acts the same with using both. I have no manual or drawing to determine the lift cylinder construction.

) At this point it seems to be "blow by" in the lift cylinders, sound correct ?

) If so, does it have o-rings, seals, or other ?

) Where can said parts be found ?


Any help would be much appreciated.

I would suggest you unbolt the rockshaft case from the rear of the trans case. After it is persuaded off ( heavy and probably "sealed/stuck" to the case), you will be able to see the lift cylinder and piston. I will bet it uses O-rings and can be replaced with appropriate generic ones.

Thanks for the reply !

This one does not seem to have said cover. The housing that seems to house the cylinder bolts on top of the rear differential housing.

I have new cylinder o-rings ordered, so I will find out when I start tearing it apart.

The cover may be directly under the seat.
