Afternoon: I got a problem or a really dumb thing to have done??
I drained the rear section of a 1975 model 3000, removed and replaced the paper filter, removed PTO shifter, took the
metal filter out, flushed it well and re-installed.
I did find that someone had put "blue" silicone sealant around the suction pipe where it passes through the casing, no
o-ring found in the groove, but there is now, and no silcone bandaid.
when I lowered the housing top, I did lift up on the 3 pt arms, and the connecting rod from arms to lift piston, came
out its place, I put it back in place, and am quite sure it stayed there.
Now when the tractor was started, there is no lifting motion on the 3pt arms, no action at the front on the plow lift
cylinder.
Where the pump is above the oil level, is there a method or need to prime the pump? (gear drive from upper left engine
side)
If the 3pt connecting arm is still out of its seat on the piston, could the piston have been pushed out of the cylinder
at the first start/lift operation, and is now laying inside, and with just basically an open piece of pipe, all the oil
goes that route and nothing gets sent to run the front lift cylinder?
I did replace all o-ring seals, besides putting the missing one back in place.
Thats my best guess,before taking the top off again.
Any ideas?
