Massey 180 suddenly lost hydraulics

Brendon Warren · Aug 21, 2015

I was mowing hay with my 180, everything was working fine then it wouldn't pick the haybine at the end of the row. MP still works fine. When I move the lever it feels dead. Oil was a tick low but still in the safe zone. This one has the two stage clutch. Any ideas where and how to start trouble shooting? It got a new hydraulic pump two years ago. Thanks!

Lift arms still work I meant to add.

I'd look at the quick connects, some of them when they fail they will close the line off.

Its not the couplers I unhooked the lines from the control valve
and am not getting oil. Next I cracked the lines before the
control valve where they come out of the side cover and I have no
pressure there either.

Linkage that goes under the seat from the lever to the valve OK?

The lift arms still work, so the main pump is working. The MP works, so the auxiliary pump is working, or at least that side is. Do you know which auxiliary pump that tractor has?

Seems to be. It moves the rod in the control valve. Puzzled.
