Ford 861 Hydraulic lift problems:
1. With everything back together and the tractor running; I tried moving the linkages withy a heavy, long screwdriver thru the hydraulic oil fill opening, but nothing worked for me (?)
2.With the tractor running, I worked the selector lever, on the right of the lid, all the way down to the draft position and only then could I get any response from the touch lever, controlling the arms,---and only while I held the leger down. It doesn't lock and stay in that position (?) Should it ??
3. So from all that occurred: The hydraulic pump is O.K., the system did not need to be primed, there was no jerking motion in the arm movements and the arms did not gradually drop because of leaks around the piston.
4. Between the auxiliary connection plate on top of the hydraulic lid and the lid; I noticed no gasket. Should there be one?
