Parts came and I'm back at it! I pulled the lift arm cylinder assembly and rebuilt everything. All new o rings and ring backers. Cleaned everything , blew everything all out, honed the cylinder and we have a functioning rear hydraulic system! Everything does what it is suppose to. Only one...

Well I pulled the lift arm cylinder and rebuilt everything. All new o rings and ring backers Cleaned everything , blew it all out, honed the cylinder and we have a functioning rear hydraulic system . Everything does what it is suppose to. Only one thing. As the arms are rising I have a...

As I said ' I did a pressure reading at the pump and the pump works just fine . With my control valve I put on my pressure gauge I was able to crank it down and saw 2000 lb. Hose from the control valve dumped directly into crank case. There is no problem with flow from the pump. I've opened up...

Here's my question for today. Any tricks for removing slotted plug from control valve assy? I might have to machine a tool to remove it. I tried a breaker bar and Drag link socket. No budge. I made a O-ringed plate for installing a 3000lb guage to check pump pressure complete with a pressure...

Ok, reinstalled pump. Incerted pressure gauge in port on Oil Pressure Cover (part 53) O pressure lift lever up and down, Drop opened and closed. System full, filter clean and properly installed. BB

This port will give me a Hi Pressure reading? The factory work book calls for two test points. If at the rear port there is low readings or no readings, how do you know if it's the pump or the valving? Not arguing just trying to understand.

Thanks for the info. I am waiting for tooling to arrive so I can make a sealing plate that would allow me to chek pressure in the pump. The one source I could find fora pressure tester for a tractor this old has not responded to me inquiries about tools.So I'm mechining them. Everything takes...

Is that port threaded? Also would I be testing the same part of the tractor as I would with using the plug on the lift cylinder cover?

And that is where I have my pressure gauge and by the way, your picture is the best one I've seen! The only time it would lift is with NO weight on the arms. If I hold the arms by hand they will not over come my pressure. What ever the pressure it has is so poor that it just won't push the...

Yes it does and I have cycled it with a test gauge in place and the control arm in all positions (up and down).

Ah! RTFB! Always a last resort. So it looks to me that I'm going to have to make a sealing plate with a outlet to bolt to the bottom of the pump. Lines fittings, hoses and the gauge won't be a problem. The plate for the pump will be fun. If there is a tool that is available I'd like to know...

I have a implement on the hitch. No pressure registered when cycling the lift and drop lever. I'm thinking either the control valve is either malfunctioning and bypassing the fluid or a bad pump. But what I really need to know is where do you take a pressure reading from. Is the port on the o/p...

Hi guys. I need your help. I have a L245dt with no PS, my FEL is driven off a crankshaft pump and it and it's resevor are completely separate from the rear hydraulics. The rear hydraulics have all steel lines. The rear hydraulics operate extremely slow and only at hi rpm. I have drained the...
