    Parked tractor last weekend and when went to fire it up today I had a puddle of oil under it. Looks like the brake pedal cross shaft seal has let loose on the left side and right side is weeping a bit. Does not look like YTC carries them, but have ask. Found a forum comment about how they can...

    poor throttle response on 550

    Sounds like you may have two problems working against you. The governor is one that you need to check out for sure, but that subtle popping when idling at 1000 rpms sounds like you may have another problem working there, too. First question would be, did you have this problem before the carb...

    Got to work on tractor yesterday....and you were very close. After removing about a half inch of paint, the valve says GRESEN 550 and in smaller font 8/12/68. Pulled both hoses off the cylinders and put in a bucket so could watch them side by side. When I pulled on lever it looked like an...

    Certainly did not mean to offended anyone. Tractor and front end loader has always and is still going up just fine, no twisting or jerking, etc.... Mr. Lund was pretty clear that there was no way that it could work at all the way it was plumbed with the type of valve he presumed it to be. It...

    Bought tractor in summer of 1999...bucket has always gone up fine. I always thought it went down slower than it should but things were working so I left it alone. Bucket started going down slower and slower over the years...hard to back track to a time line, but the more I think about it am...

    Have never seen anything like this before so was just trying to explore all possible options before tearing into this thing... Appreciate your expertise, will replumb it with a T fitting as you suggested... thanks for the help...

    The front end loader was always slow coming down...and has gradually gotten slower and slower coming down to the point it does not come down at all now until you shut the engine off, basically turning off the hydraulic pump and letting the oil drain back to the tractor sump.... Both of the...

    You described the setup perfectly...one hose to each cylinder...push lever and up the bucket goes....lifted some big stuff, too... never really went down well unless you had significant weight on it, otherwise it would just go down nice and slow...with only the buck weight, it was actually very...

    I had a hose start leaking really bad at one of the crimped fittings...when i went to take the old hose off, I found both ends of the hose were actually fixed...e.g., neither end had any sort of swivel fitting..not sure how it was ever put on in the first place....so i cut the old hose off and...

    Hopefully these pictures will explain what I am dealing with...the only markings on the controller are IN and OUT. The lines attached to the two lower fittings lead back to the tractor and appear to be 1/2" or 5/8" fittings. There are two 3/8" hoses coming out of the top of the controller and...

    I agree with your analysis of the controller setup... but now you know why I was hoping to find someone who recognized this arrangement or I could get some idea what to expect when I tore into this thing........ recently rebuilt the Marvel Schebler TSX-811 this thing, so am not afraid of...
