Assuming one had decided to do a major rebuild on the hydraulic system of an MF240, what would one replace? I assume the pump itself would be one of those items, and I understand how expensive it is, but after a lot of frustration with the hydraulic system response, I'm willing to consider it. I have had this tractor for two years, and its poor response to the draft & position levers has made it a great deal less useful than I had hoped.
The machine had not been well cared for when I got it, and I had to drain and refill the hydraulic system three times to remove traces of water in the oil. I assume that might have done some permanent damage.
I am not sure it is related, but when in "Constant Pumping" mode, there is a random (not rhythmical) soft knocking coming from the vicinity of the pump.
