First thing to check is hyd fluid level. No fluid, no hyds. Check the dipstick. Fill if necessary although you've gotta guess what fluid's in there. 90 wt mineral oil or 134d New Holland. If it works (that is it'll hold up to 800 pounds - less if your implement weighs less - for a full minute and then raise and lower it a couple more times) then drain fluid and refill with New Holland 134d (others will diasgree on which fluid, but I'm a Texan and ya oughtta agree with me!).

If not, then hyd pump is probably bad. although I haven't seen it, there is a hyd rebuild video on this and other sites which you ought to buy unless you're already a good mechanic and can figure stuff out. A rebuild is a 1/2 day job (sans frozen bolts), coupla busted knuckles, and a few cheap and readily available parts.

Sorry I can't hang around. Gotta saloon waitin' fer me!
