I am trying to figure out the hydraulics on this tractor. I'm using it for a back blade and landscape rake, but the speed of the 3 point is extremely slow. I put a kit in the pump a couple years ago, but no noticeable improvement, no worn parts detected.
I'm running hy-tran oil in the reservoir, it's about 35 degrees F and currently using a very heavy 8' back blade. I don't really understand the 3 positions of the selector lever, but have been using the middle (horizontal) position.
If I lift the implement, it does not leak down overnight. It's just pathetically slow to move, both up and down. The lifting arm movement seems minimal to me. Is there a filter somewhere? I have been reading a manual but it confuses me more than anything. Troubleshooting section does not mention the symptoms I'm having. It does mention bleeding the pump, but I haven't been able to figure out how, is there a port somewhere?
