Greetings,
Long time lurker and avid fan of this site. I just recently bought a JD 3010 1961 Diesel to help me run things around here on the small little ranch we have. For the first month after I got it, Ran Fine and lifted all the bales I have here (1100-1400lb Round Bales), and about a month ago, it stopped lifting them. I can Redline the Tractor and get them about a foot off the Ground but that's it now. With no load on the Loader it works just fine, Lift, Tilt, and grapple work great with no load on them. Fluid Level is fine and I replaced the Filter as well. Still won't lift them.
I'm planning on replacing the Hydraulic Pump on this tractor with a rebuilt one, and ran across a couple listings (around 850 each rebuilt, this is the one I am looking at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydraulic-Pump-John-Deere-3010-3020-4000-4010-4020-4040-4050-4055-4230-4350-/121377846037?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 )
But I remember seeing something somewhere that they made two different pumps for these tractors, some with a relief valve or something like that (please excuse my ignorance), how does one tell without removing the old one first which pump the tractor has on it?? This Tractor Purr's like a kitten while Running but I really need the Hydraulics to work as I am a disabled vet and can't move these bales without it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
