Good Morning
I have a early model TW-15, 83-85 After it sits for a few days at times it won't move, just lurches ahead a bit when letting out the clutch. At the advice of a couple guys on the general tractor forum I checked the low pressure pump.
What I found was this. Started tractor and I had no pressure, after about 5 minutes of trying to move it suddenly the pressure went to 120 lbs and it moves fine. I get 120lbs at idle and just under 180lbs at 2000 RPM.
So my question is. Could something that drives that pump be failing, or do I have a valve, bypass valve in that system that's hanging up? Or can a failing pump act that way?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
