Hi everyone, new to the forum. Spoke to Vick briefly and he did point me in the direction i needed but it's sill not resolved. I need help bad and been losing it trying to figure out on my own. I bought a used B8200 with backhoe and fel. It's pretty beat up but i'm fixing things as i can. The loader did work when i bought it but there were leakes all over the place on the backhoe which is PTO driven. Replaced all seals on cylinders and new hoses. The loader worked before this but i know it was really slow. Then the fel just stopped working After fixing backhoe i changed the hydraulic fluid and man was it milky. Drained and filled 4 times before i got clear hydraulic fluid. I clean the filter screen each time and blowing air through it every time. Heres the problem. The loader does not work at all and there isn't any hydraulic oil coming out of the hose that feeds the fel.
I took the pump off as Vick directed me to. It looks clean with no visual damage at all. I checked the pump by putting my thumb on the top (suction) and finger on bottom (return) and turned the tab that goes into the gear from the pump and i have suction. I turned the motor over with pump off and saw that the gear is turning. I looked very closely at connections and hoses back to hydraulic tank and do not see any leaks. By the way it is a gear driven ran transmission. The PTO works, The three point lifts. I'm stumped. Please please give me some advise. Is it air? how do i get it out. Is it the pump. I did buy another relief valve hoping that was stuck but it didn't help. How do i prime the pump?.Losing my mind on this and tired of wearing hydraulic fluid. Sorry for the long post but wanted to give as much info as i can. Thanks
