I've read the thread a couple of times and I don't remember the mention of air pressure. It's worth a try. One of the mechanics where I work said something about the springs that hold the pistons against the body breaking and causing failure. Does that make sense? -

I went out and undid the broken end of the cable for the tach and the pump IS turning. So the pump runs with the engine but doesn't pump. I think we are narrowing it down. -

Can't tell the cable was broken off when I got the tractor and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. I've been having too much fun with the hydraulics. -

By proof meter do you mean the cable coming off the end of the pump? No the cable is broken off. -

Yeah it kind of sounds like that doesn't it. I doubt I'll get to it for a while. We have actual mechanics where I work who I can trick into rebuilding it. It's weird that it worked on and off for a while. Go figure. Thanks again. -

It's hard to tell because it's dark and cold up here in the frozen northland but I put my finger over the hole after I filled it and I think I could sort of feel little pulsing but not a lot. I ran the engine revs up and it didn't make any difference. What kind of job is it to pull that pump? -

Tried that, no luck. Now it's full to the top and doing nothing. -

So I pulled that plug with the tractor running and nothing, dry as a bone. -

Yep, it's a pump like the one in the picture. It's got me baffled. Whats the correct way to prime it? And what should I use? ATF, hydraulic? Is there any way to check pressure at the pump? If it was bad wouldn't it have not worked at all? So many questions! -

That is one of the puzzling bits in this whole deal. The first couple of times I pulled that top pipe plug I got a pretty good spray of oil. thats when the arms started lifting pretty good. Now they don't lift at all and when I pull the plug with the engine running, nothing which makes no sense... -

Wow! I just read this entire thread for about the 10th time. I'm having a similar problem with my 600 series tractor and I'm more confused than ever. My hydraulic lift works sporadically. It stopped working for a while and I remove the #2 cap screw on the top cover and filled the passage with... -

TO20 value?
I'm looking at a TO 20 It's fairly decent , runs good, complete. The pto works okay but the tph arms don't lift. You can feel them sort of pulse. Should I walk away or is this fixable? Mike- nortryder
