My 1086, s/n 60522 with open-center hydraulics, is having an issue with raising my disc when hooked to the remote. Here is what has been done/checked so far:
- Fluid level checked and topped off
- Recent hydraulic filter change (roughly 10 hours of use since change)
- Worked when using my old haybine to raise the cutterbar
- Will extend the cylinder when it is detached from the disc (no load)
- Just to rule out issues, replaced the hose ends on the disc with new ones
- Have tried both of the remotes on the back of the tractor with same results
- It will extend when hooked to disc until the point that the wheels make contact with ground and then that's it, will lift wheels quick and just fine.
- Have tried it with the 3-point lever in various positions. When in the range where it controls the draft response the remotes respond slower/faster for the little bit of movement they actually do, which is the way it is designed.
- The levers seem to have a noticeable detent in the various positions as you would expect them to.
Kind of at a loss as to where to look next without jumping to the conclusion that its the pump. Are there some things I am missing in my troubleshooting? Outside of having the expensive IH Flo Rater gauge setup is there a working-man's way of testing the pressure? Could this problem be related to a check valve issue? I believe this model has a check valve right beneath the cab that the lines coming from the remotes attach to ( at least that is going by the parts diagram, a box shaped device ).
