I have a TO30.
We recently rebuilt the hydraulics with a rebuild kit. We also replaced the piston with the Ford piston with the rubber and leather O-rings. We changed the control valve and relief valve.
Everything was working fine until yesterday. We shredded a small section and hydraulics worked fine. When we went to raise the shredder up to take it back to storage the hydraulics would not lift it.
We unhooked the shredder and put a drawbar on the arms. The arms will lift. But if you put any weight on the drawbar they will go back down. I weigh 250#. I stood on the drawbar but it wouldn t raise me. I can feel the pump trying to raise me while standing on it.
Any ideas where to start looking?
