While using my front end loader on a Cockshutt 540, it just suddenly quit lifting, made no noise, no nothing. It has plenty of oil in the resovoir. Does anyone have any idea where to start looking for the problem? Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, the early 540's used the governor gear to drive the hydraulic pump and this proved to be the weak link in the system. It seems like this resulted in the governor shaft breaking when the hydraulics were under a heavy load. A factory upgrade fixed the problem. You should find the factory service bulletin on one of the cockshutt sites.

Are you running this off of the tractor hydraulics or do you have a seperate pump for the loader? If running off of the tractor hydraulics does the 3 point raise? Anyhow you asked where to start. My first suggestion would be to unhook a hose going to the loader and stick it in a CLEAN bucket, start the tractor , work the control handle and see if oil comes out of the hose. If it does, do you have a pressure gauge, if not borrow one that goes to at least 2000 psi. Attach it to the supply hose and see if you have any pressure. Then get back with us.
