Tim,
I'm in SC with a JD8630. I was running the machine yesterday plowing. When I got to the end of the field , I turn right when I lost power steering. I immediately pulled back the hydraulic lever to pick up the plow when I learned the plow wouldn't pick up. Then I lost all clutch function. The machine lost everything to do with hydraulics. The center drive shafts are turning but tractor is unresponsive. All of this in a 20 sec time frame. I shut it down, ,pulled the hydraulic oil dip stick found it full. I pulled the hydraulic filter off checked for metal, non out of ordinary. Dropped the hydraulic oil. Nothing noticeable there. I pulled two strainers but very little there. You seem to be the expert on this model tractor. I'm willing to pay you to speak to me or alow me to pay for your guidance. I'm just at wits end. Have any ideas? May I call you? Number? My cell is 803-260-4510. I appreciate any advice you might have, sir. Thanks Thomas
