Good Sunday afternoon everyone,
I m currently in the process of rebuilding the top lid system on my 2000. Today I removed the top lid and I m looking things over. My symptom on my tractor is I m lacking hydraulic pressure to the top lid. It does work sometimes but it is very intermittent. Now that it s cooler out it really has trouble. I purchased a blade for it and it took probably 20 minutes of the tractor running to build enough pressure to lift the blade so I could get it into the building. I kind of messed around with it before shutting the tractor off to see if the problem got better but it didn t really seem to. I know there could be a host of problems it could be but considering I already had the rebuild kit I figured I would start there. I ve got a safety valve and relief valve ordered as well so I m hoping the problem is somewhere here and not the pump. We shall see.
Ok, so the first thing I ve noticed is my tractor doesn t seem to have the high pressure tube that connects to the high pressure line and the bottom of the top lid. I ve been following along to a repair video online (picture attached of the tube in the video) and they call it the high pressure tube. My understanding is there is an ORing at the top and bottom of this tube that could cause issues as well if they re blown. I ve dug around the bottom of the housing and couldn t find it anywhere. I ve pulled the shop manual out and attached a picture as well. The only thing I could find in the manual is they refer to that piece as the "sleeve." It shows an ORing at the bottom but not at the top. Regardless of the proper terminology I don t have it.
Do you guys happen to know if the 2000 s had this tube? In the video they were working on a 3000 but stated it should be the same. If so, do you guys know where I could find one?
