My 135 has never had any issues with the hydraulics before now. I did not use the tractor this winter and when starting in the spring the hydraulics was dead.
I thought it might be water in the oil and it had caused something to freeze and crack during the winter. I have removed the lift cover but cannot find anything obviously wrong.
The strainer was quite full of "gunk" as well as the bottom of the oil sump. Clearly there has been quite a bit of over greasing and the oil has not been changed any time my father could remember!
The strainer had some holes and there was a bit of gunk inside the strainer as well.
I have filled the sump with oil to cover the "strainer seat" and then some. But the hydraulic pump is not pumping any oil when I start the engine. There is a slight buildup of air pressure when I put my finger over the output hole on the pump, but nothing near a "hydraulic pressure".
I made a video of starting up the engine after I "filled" the output hole in the pump with a bit of oil manually. You can see the air "blow" the oil out, but no new oil is being pumped.
Am I doing something wrong or is the pump not working?
Can I do anything more with this without removing the pump?
