    Hydraulic top link

    Providing an update. I rebuilt the lift cover components, replaced pivot pin, made adjustments. Filled and bled system. Hydraulics now working! Thanks all for your help.

    OK guys, I got the lift cover off and have a few questions. I’m guessing this pin that rides on the lift arm cam should not be notched?

    No, the system lost pressure overnight and when it had pressure was only doing a half lift. I’m replacing o rings, etc under lift cover soon as suggested above. I will also soak the reservoir in diesel. I’d be happy to just have the lift working full range. I’ll deal with the top link later...

    It seems to have pressure. I was able to hook up the lift arms to my brush hog and pick it up just a bit.

    I do not have any remotes. I can put a load on the lift and see what happens though.

    Just ordered o ring kit. Update: I bled the system and the lift is now moving! It only comes up about halfway and shutters on the way up? Any suggestions?

    Hydraulic top link

    I bought a nipple that screws into top of pump (bleeder hole) and some hose. Should I just let it bubble out into a bottle until it has no more air? I also have a vacuum bleeder for car brakes, not sure if I can pull air out in the same way? Any tips for bleeding? Thx

    Thanks for the info and your opinion! I’m new to tractors and appreciate the help.. how much diesel should I put in the case? Then just let it sit and operate the lift lever w motor off?

    The lift doesn’t work at all. It used to work sporadically, and after changing the fluid, not at all. Going to try to bleed it, but I’m thinking it’s probably a bigger issue. Is there anyway that I can test the pump pressure?

    Oh.. thank you for the detailed explanation! I did not know how it all worked…thanks again.

    I was hoping it was an alternative since I can’t get my hydraulics working

    Maybe a dumb question? Do my hydraulics on my 58 Ford 871 need to be functioning in order to use a hydraulic top link?
