New to me 861 with lift work needed. Lift not working when I bought it. Has single spool accessory valve mounted on top of lift cover. No hoses...deadheaded.
UD pointed out that if the deadheaded valve didn't tax or stall the engine that the pump was not likely creating any pressure in the system. So, bled the pump. Now I do get some engine stall when actuating the accessory valve. But, still nothing when operating the quadrant in either position control or draft.
Some of the books are coming in and I do read archives. My question is: Is the next logical step to remove the inspection cover and look at linkages? That assuming the quadrant is linkage dependent and the accessory valve is not. Or would it be wise to plumb (don't know how yet) a gauge to a test port to check pressure?
