    Can't get the FEL working

    Woot! 3 gal of 303 and 40+hrs later, the bucket works like a champ. Brush hog doesn't, but, hey, I can get done what I need too. For now. And "thatch" my lawn in the process. :-D Turns out, the hydraulic dipstick was attached to that curved release vent right behind the seat. I'm...

    Can't get the FEL working

    Okay, I found the dipstick on the transmission. It's right next to the gear shift in the picture. The fluid is up to the top, smells very weird, and is tan and foamy. I assume I have to drain this as I've never seen tan, foamy oil before (water?). Do I refill this with the 303 tractor oil...

    Can't get the FEL working

    These are what came out of the tank under the seat. The closest one, is from the front, the other with the spring and washers came out of the right side, front. This is what I see down the front. This is what I see down the right side. At the bottom is some swivel-type plug the...

    Can't get the FEL working

    I haven't found another reservoir yet. Here's some pics from the manual. That 1st pic shows a dipstick, but haven't found that yet either. The 2nd pic clearly shows the hydraulic pump with a line to that reservoir, so that's what I've been going by.

    Can't get the FEL working

    Based on the oil I see moving through the reservoir, and I would think, the brush hog raising and lowering, can't I assume the pump is working? I actually got the bucket to jump up 5 inches or so this morning. I turned off the tractor, then lowered it and heard a fair amount of air escape...

    Can't get the FEL working

    I'm not sure what the "filler plug" is. There's a drain plug just below the filter. There's a bolted down, spring-loaded "something" on the FEL controls. What I noticed last night is that there is an extra range on the FEL controls. There's the usual 8 positions you can hit with minimum...

    Can't get the FEL working

    Apologies. The margarita was kicking in when I posted. :-D There's only one pump, near as I can tell. Steering, transmission, and hydraulics are all in the circuit. The steering has improved greatly since I changed the filter and topped off the reservoir. Here's some pictures of what...

    Can't get the FEL working

    I've changed the hydraulic fluid, filter, and have found no leaks. The brush hog (3 pt gear?) works, but is "shakey". I cannot get the FEL to work. The 3 pt (rear) works okay, but is not consistent. I can hear air bleeding out through the valve behind the seat, but it don't seem to make...
