    Thanks, Jim.ME! Sure looks the same. I'm over the pond until the 1st but will will get a look as soon as I get back. It is so much easier to understand this stuff with good pics / videos.

    Thanks, 4wd. Heading out of town for the week then back to the WD45 puzzle. One thing I know for sure is that I'm missing some screws and bolts so I'll have to think about that as well.

    Thanks. Trying to figure out where the supports attach to the tractor. I see where the left and right brackets on the guide should attach (I think) but not the supports on the portion with the block.

    Ok - hydraulics problem solved so now I'm removing the belly mower and reattaching the drawbars. Having trouble understanding where the supports on the block attach on the bottom of the 45. I looked for screw holes that would match up with those on the block supports but didn't see anything.

    Speaking of feeling stupid.....now I feel really stupid. Went out to look at all the screws again and noticed that screw B, even though fully screwed out, wasn't not holding the plates together tightly. Rigged it so they held together firmly and voila, working perfectly now. All that effort...

    Got it. Thanks. Going to try a few more adjustments then its probably time to get into the pump itself.

    Yep, that's the way it should work. I'm just curious about what is actually happening in the mechanics of the pump. Since the hand lever doesn't raise or lower anything (I can only get it to lower and stay lowered by pushing the control lever by hand CCW then screwing the pin into the divot...

    Does anyone know where I might find a diagram of the inside of the pump and how the hand lever interfaces with its ability to pump oil? I know a little bit about hydraulic dynamics so does the hand lever act as the control valve to regulate the amount of fluid? Thus at 1/2 raised on the hand...

    DrAllis. I stand corrected. It was not correctly in the divot and once I got it there, everything stayed lowered. Now I just need to get the pump working correctly so its not stuck in raised or stuck in lowered with no way to adjust via the hand lever.

    I do have to push it CCW past the divot to get it to go down. I then screw it into the divot, but as soon as I fire her up, belly mower goes to the fully raised position.

    I will look again, but unless there are two divots, it is in the one divot screwed tight. I'll do it again and take a picture.

    Thanks! Did that one already. Still goes to raised position. I'm not a surgeon, but it just seems logical that there is something disconnected / broken in the housing body.

    If your talking about this one, yep + just installed a new one.

    Thanks, 4wdtom. I will try to see if I can push them down. I have replaced gaskets on the manifold a number of times so might be able to handle this. Are you talking about O rings that would be inside the casing where the levers are attached in the picture above?
