I recently bought this 8N and the lift worked. It just stopped working , wont do anything. I have drained the fluid, it was thick, yellowish brown and smells badly. I took off the side plate & looked inside but I dont know what I'm looking for.I tried to remove the bottom plate but after removing the bolts it wont drop down.Any suggestions?

The basics are sometimes missed. Fluid must be at proper level. The PTO, as said, has to be engaged. "Handle on lower left side of tractor." Clutch has to be engaged even in neutral. Possition control lever under the seat toward the right has to be in the vertical (up) position for "Position Control". Touch control lever full back. (up position). Then you remove the side plate you will be able to see what is happening, per the descriptions in the "Archives".

Hi Doug.
You have to remove the PTO shaft to get the lift pump out; the PTO shaft actually turns the pump. You can find a storehouse of great information and advice about the N lift system in the archives of this forum. Just click on archives and type in 8N hydraulic lift system problems or for short, 8N lift problem. HTH. Rick H. GA.

Hi Doug,
You will really need to put oil back in it and try to see were the problem is before tearing it all apart,your pump won't drop out until you remove the PTO shaft.
I'm including a web site that will help you trouble shoot your system...good luck and let us know how you come out

I didn't see the link you mentioned. I'm curious about it, too.
