Hello, I just joined the forums and thought I would drop a line to request any and all help available. I have a 1980's series Case 1490. I can't seem to find any definitive information on serial numbers for this tractor that would indicate a specific date. I am guessing early 80's. I have the manuals for it. I just purchased it and it runs real well. It has a loader on it and it works as it should. This tractor has the front mount single hydraulic pump. The issue that I am having is that my 3 point is completely dead. It does nothing at all (looks good though). I have run through all of the manual's troubleshooting tips. I am at the point now where I am going to bleed the air out of the system and check system pressure. Before I do that, I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions that may save me some time.
The pump obviously is working and the filter is obviously not clogged, as the loader works just fine (hooked to an aux. line). The hydraulic fluid is filled to capacity and it looks good (clear).
