I have a ford 8n with a hydraulic issue. I?m not a mechanic but
I usually do most mechanical work myself. These tractors are
new to me. I was told if I got the tractor running I could have it
so that?s what I did. It?s running great but the hydraulics are
giving me a fit. If I hook to an implement no matter how heavy
my 3 point will pick it up. When I press the clutch it goes down
at a rate too fast to drive at all. In neautral it will pick up and
hold. I?ve changed the oil. Cleaned out all of the sludge.
Removed the pump and changed out the pressure relief
valve. Replaced all seals and gaskets according to the
manual. Replaced hydraulic oil. I checked through the side
cover and cannot see any obvious leaks and also didn?t see
any signs of noticeable damage to the pump. The pump is
working since the 3 point lifts correct? What am I missing?
Please help!
