1963 Ford 2000 hydraulics quit

[Beavonthebayou]

Yall, I need some help. The hydraulics on my tractor are not working. Theyve always been a bit sketchy, only lifting the implement in the last little bit of lever travel, but now they arent doing anything.

I did take the top cover off and replace the worn pivot pin and the leather/o-ring on the piston along with other o-rings. M

After cleaning, reinstalling, and replacing the fluid, it still doesnt work. The PTO works fine.

Any help or suggestions are welcome..!!

Thanks!!

take the plug off from the top of the pump b head and prime it with oil.

I actually went through the top cover as she shows in her video, even used parts from their business.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. When I open the plug on the hydraulic pump, there is fluid there, so I don't believe that it has lost its prime. When the engine is running, fluid doesn't really come out of this hole, it just oozes a bit more if you rev the motor up.

I would think that if the pump is functioning properly, it should spurt from this hole.

What are y'alls thoughts on this?

Sounds like you need to rebuild the pump.

(quoted from post at 03:47:09 08/03/20) Sounds like you need to rebuild the pump.

i agree. i would dismount and carefully reexamine the rebuild. did it work after you rebuilt it?
