821 tractor
New User
I bought an 800 series tractor that did not have a three point on it so I bought the hydraulic pump and top cover. I installed the pump and tried to prime it in which I believe I was successful because I had oil coming out. But when I looked in the sump the hydraulic fluid was just swirling and not coming up the filler tube. I watched some you tube videos that showed tractors running with the top covers off and fluid was coming out of the filler line. Do I need to put the top cover on in order to get this to prime correctly? I did check the fill and return lines in the sump and they appear to be in good shape from what I can tell.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
