Hey all!
I have a Massey 165 that my homestead uses on a pretty regular basis. I got it 3 years ago and its hardly given me a hiccup until now. I recently purchased a PTO driven M14 Foley Belsaw Sawmill. The blade is hammered perfect for a Massey 165 and its cuts anything you feed it AWESOME!
My problem is that just the other day, the front end hydraulics stopped working. They won't lift. The rear hydraulics and PTO work perfectly fine. It's only the front end loader that won't lift.
How can the back end hydraulics work but the front will not??
Does the 165 have 2 pumps? What do I need to check. I really use this tractor a lot and need the front end to be working.
The hydraulic fluid levels are full.
Everything else on the tractor seems to work fine.
Included below are pics...because a post without pics would be boring.
