Hello all, I was hoping I could get a little help. I have a 3cyl
gas1975 MF40 with an instant reverse transmission that died on
me a few years ago and I have only recently been able to find
the time to try to get it back up and running. Fluids are good and
she has spark / a brand new battery. I replaced/cleaned up the
wiring and had the starter looked at, which was given a clean bill
of health. When I attempt to start it she gets a few good
revolutions then slows down to a stop almost like the battery is
dead. I get this even when I hook the battery up to my truck. I did
notice that it seems to be building hydraulic pressure as soon as
it starts cranking, which I relieve by dropping the bucket. Is there
a way to keep the hydraulic pump from building pressure to let
the starter do its thing? or does anyone have any other
suggestions?
Much appreciated
