L175 No 3 point lift

[brown10]

Greetings,

I was using a 4' rotary mower with my L175 over the weekend. I have lost lifting power with the 3 point. Fluid level is good. I took the mower off and I can lift the 3 point arms up & down without resistance. I may have damaged something by descending down too steep a grade & put the 3 point in a bind when I leveled out on flat ground at the bottom of the hill. The issue seems to have started then. I have a schematic parts manual. Wonder if you folks might have an idea of what I probably did. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving! - Jerry

If all else fails clean the suction screen.

Thanks i'll give that a try. I can't figure out why it's so easy to lift the arms up & down unless something inside is broken or disconected.

3pt arms fly up normally with no problem so the articulating with the mower could be coincidence even though that was about the time of the problem.

Clogged filter/screen it was. Thanks for the advice. My little tractor is back in business.

Where is the filter/screen on a 7100?

 

[brown10]

Not sure. On my old L175 it's down on the left rear side of the rear unit just front of the brake drum. Held in by a two bolt cover.

On a gear drive B7100 the filter is on the right hand side (sitting on the tractor). It is part of the banjo bolt that holds the hydraulic suction line to the transmission case. It is #4 in the attached picture.

Thank you, I appreciate that.
