I picked up an old Case 430 with a front loader for FREE!! One year into it, I"m thinking I overplayed.
here is what I did so far. Split tractor and rebuild transmission(Low and High Were Gone) New seals between between there and rear diff. 3Pt Seal, Rebuilt Injection Pump. All Hydraulics were working fine until last week. After using the loader for awhile it suddenly lost its ability to lift. When I shut it off and restart it works again for a short time. Seems like a supply problem, but as far as I can tell there is NO pickup screen on these old things and the filter appears to only filter oil that is returning to the reservoir. (seems dumb am I understanding that right?) Also the 3pt hitch lifts but it is delayed by about 30 seconds.
Any ideas? When it works I could lift a tank! but when it stops I can"t even lift an empty bucket.
Thank you all for your help.
