MF 1085 lift problem

lemroy · Feb 25, 2013

On my 1085 the lift will raise ok without a load on it, but when I attach it to a mower, it won"t lift. Could this be due to a control spring isssue. Thanks. Roy

Hi Roy,
Yes, it could well be a control sping problem. The best way to test it is to fit something like a mower if it hangs out at the back to provide a good test. Don't connect the top link to the tractor. Use a suitable chain and connect the mower top link bracket to the lugs on the centre housing. Do not use the tractor top link bracket. If the spring is loose/worn/broken incorrect movement can cause the pump to move towards 'neutral' and not provide any lift. If the hydraulics work OK this way then the control spring will need to be removed and serviced as the first step.

Thanks David for your expert advice. The other hydraulics work just fine. I will try and follow your instructions. Roy
