Taskmaster tractor hydr

[Grandpa Oregon]

My Taskmaster Trooper 425A tractor lost it's hydraulics completely. I do not have a manual on it and hoped someone would know where I might get one or where the filter is on the hydraulic system,which is what I am told to start with. Any suggestions would help as I am not a mechanic.Thanks a lot, Bruce

Not familiar with your tractor but starting at the pump shaft splines (if it has an aux hyd pump would be a great place to start)....make sure the pump shaft is turning

Do you pix of the pump or hyd system??

Check your fluid levels, check or replace the filters.

Check filter screen if reservoir has them.

Check the suction tube.

Remove a hose from a cyl and place in a bucket to check flow, color of fluid. If there is water in the system, the fluid will be milky/muddy looking.

Check to see if pump is turning. The data page says the tractor has two pumps.
