Hey all,
Long time since I last visited. The 971 is doing pretty well, but while brush hogging some relatively rough timber paths, the hyds quit on me. I drug the mower up and got it off and then dropped the one arm loader. Both the three point and the auxillary control valve were "pulsing" during operation, before quitting all together last night. While not noted with the three point lift, the front bucket was significantly slower to respond as well.
After sitting over night, the three point did lift this evening, but is still pulsing. I've searched here some and glanced at the manual.
I'm sure my cam follower pin is worn, but seeing the pulse in the front bucket as well seems to point to the pump or an associated valve. I should also mention the bucket would not drop or "unload" either.
Hoping to give some hay rides over Thanksgiving, will get some pics. Heck, I might even throw the front weight box on
TIA,
Chris
