Fordson super major 5000 hydraulics

4320diesel · Nov 21, 2015

I have a fordson super major 5000 diesel and the hydraulics will start out strong and fairly quick in the morning to lift a front mount blade. After you run it for 20 minutes the hydraulics barely work. It has to be revved right up to make it lift the blade. It's full of hydraulic oil. Also when it's doing this the 3pt hitch seems to lift fine and operate normally but the hydraulics for remote cylinders is slow. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Try dropping the lift arms about 1/2" and see if that speeds the blade up. If the lift works OK and will lift a weight then the problem seems to be in your auxiliary services. Try the lift arm trick and see if that improves things. You should also be in Qualitrol, selector lever under the seat should be pointing up.
