well i came home with a tractor the other day.
for the most part it is a 62 4000 industrial, light duty, power steering, 3 point hitch, pto, loader, etc. the thing runs great, but leaves some to be desired in other departments.
i am handy, worked on cars all my life (within reason) but the extent of my hydraulic experience is just with brakes.
where should i start?
what i do know is that it has fluid, and it appears the pump is primed, i pulled the plug off the top of the nose of the pump and when i turn the tractor over i get a little squirt. has fine bubbles in it there, but not at the dipstick.
when actuated the hitch levers twitch, though it is hardly noticeable, and i mean hardly.
where should i put a gauge to check PSI and make sure pump output is good?
i assume the pump is shared with the power steering, which works well.
what are the simple things to go for? the fellow i got it from was convinced, or trying to convince me it was just the relief valve.
is the hydro system on this the same as the 65+ i found an online manual for those, though the scans are poor...
thankyou, any help is appreciated.
sorry for what is probably a novice question...
