So ....we bought tractor,it had
been sitting out in weather for a
least a year. Lift worked 1st time
we tried it. But control lever was
so hard to move that we broke it
off. Well we thought that to
remove quadrant we had to pull
cover off. Only thing that fixed
was with it sitting in its side
penetrating oil worked it's way
down tube and lever works smooth
now. Put cover back on ( heavy
thing, ain't it) no lift. Back
off. New o rings. No lift. Rev
motor it lifts. Sits a few days
,no lift again. Got rubber tube
ran it from plug on pump to filler
hole. Had very little air in it
,still no lift. When I turn off
tractor the fluid doesn't stay at
top of plug hole, but if you bump
starter it comes right out. What
am I missing? Because the old
fluid was full of water ,milky
looking ,we shot some air in the
plug hole on pump to clear it out.
Re placed all o rings under the
plate under seat too. Plus the two
between cover and housing.
