    MF 265 Steering Issue

    I have a confounding issue with power steering. I had a considerable loss of power steering and was low on fluid so added about a pint. This happened again and again or a few days so I assumed another leak. (Same thing happened 2 years ago and I had the seals in the steering cylinder replaced...

    MF 265 issue bleeding after injection pump gasket replacement

    Edited my post to note that I did not go through the entire pump, just replaced the throttle and stop o-rings and lid gasket so i don't believe timing is an issue.....Just finished replacing gaskets and reinstalled pump. I opened the bleed nut on the top/side of the pump and pumped the lever...

    MF 265 Hydraulics Question

    Thank you for the clarification and labeling, I agree this will be helpful to get this issue resolved. Any additional thoughts on the “control lever for the aux hydraulic valve”. Is this lever in any way related to the hydraulics that currently control the loader function or is it for other...

    MF 265 Hydraulics Question

    I should have been more specific when labeling the "control lever" in the drawing - this is intended to depict the control level (raise/tilt) for the loader. A picture of this device is below. Does this answer the question on whether there is a "control valve"? There is no other device...

Couple of items to clarify - its somewhat irrelevant but the front end loader is a Bison not Buffalo (have a hard time with those 2). Also, I am researching further but looks like...

    MF 265 Hydraulics Question

    Thank you JimME - this is a buffalo brand front end loader and I have looked again at the tractor and it appears that the loader uses the factory hydraulics as everything is plumbed back to a pump that is located on the left side of the seat. I agree that the power steering is a separate issue...
