On my 1085 the lift works ok without any weight on it, however when I hook it up to a mower, it won't lift it. The trans oil is full. What do I need to look for. Thanks. Roy

Possibly blown 'O' rings on the stack pipe, or leaking rings on the piston. take of the inspection plate at the dipstick side after letting some oil out and have a look in as you try to lift the mower. the stack pipe pulls up out of the top and has 'O' rings and backing washers top and bottom.

Thanks Sam I will try that. I have been told that I could add a spacer in the control system in the rear of the tractor. Roy

Hi
Have seen the stack pipes on the 185 split so wouldn't mind betting these can do it too. the other thing could be the pumps piled too had a massey 595 do the same as yours. end cracked in the pump. the 1085 is basically the same as Europe's 595 with different tin and about as successful from what a guy that ran both told me lol. They don't sell good round here for that reason I guess.
Regards Robert
