Do you have a hardware store, Home Depot, Lowe's or Tractor Supply in Andalusia? That's a standard size screw so any hardware store ought to have them. Maybe you will have to buy a Phillips , Torx or Allen head screw if they don't have Hex heads. Might even have to buy a 1" length and cut it off to 3/4".

what kinda oil is inthe lift.

other than slow.. is it strong?

might have too thick of oil.. IE.. never know what the pr put in there if a new to you machine. IE.. might be 140 lube in there...

Go see Frank at the Andalusia NAPA store, he should be able to fix you up. You'll need some o-rings too, cause I'll bet the valve will leak. There is a tutorial on this site that shows how to fix the valve.

soundguy I use drive train 30 hyd oil from a local distributer,Works good in all my other equipment.Any filter or valve that might be causing lift to be slow. It like me its old. I have the maintenance manual that covers the tractor

THANKS TEX I will check it out.After market stuff leaves a lot to be desired in my humble opinion.What part of the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS are you in.I love East Texas!!

by 'drive train 30 hyd oil ' I'm guessing you mean some sort of UTF oil. if so.. it's fine.

if the lift is strong.. but merely slow, then do this test.

with a load lifted, shut off tractor.. does it leak down ( pretty fast? )

at high rpm does it pick up speed?

hve you done a redneck flow test?

chain 3pt lift down, or put heavy implement on it.

remove plug on 3x5 cover under seat, screw a fitting with a nipple in there with a piece of hose on it aimed into a bucket. mark the bucket for 1g. start tractor and time it to fill 1 g in the bucket. can't go too much farther as sump only nominally has 2 in it.

lift 3pt handle then start....

figure your gpm.

at max throttle... you could make about 4gpm when the system was new....

that's a gallon in 15 seconds.
