But I think I have found the cause of my 3 PT not lifting.

Naw,I've seen worse than that and they still worked. Better dig a little deeper for a bigger problem. lol
 
Wow Royse! You need to run the backblade a
little slower! lol. Which tractor is that
on, and how in the heck does that happen?
 
I can't tell you guys. I bought it with the lift not working.
I could hear a little tunk-tunk-tunk when running so I thought
it might be the pump. Since the pump on this tractor is accessed
through the top cover (Ferguson TO-35 Deluxe) I pulled the top
cover. That is what I found. Still more pieces in the bottom.
 
You bought it that way....whether you did or not, you did. Right?? :wink:

I'd hazard to bet someone went hauling around something that was way too heavy over very rough terrain. Not too sure, but don't expect even duct tape will fix that problem.

Is that tractor set up for simply replacing with an after-market cylinder or do you have to find a donor cylinder? (I had a TO-30 for a while, but that was too short a time and too long ago to remember much!)
 
"You bought it that way....whether you did or not, you did. Right?? Wink "

I really did buy it that way, but I appreciate your sense of humor!
I was just talking to the previous owner.
He said, as he recalls, it went out gradually. two or three years ago.
I'm having trouble thinking a break like that would be gradual, but
I guess it could happen. I've never seen a cylinder break like that.

He does live in rough terrain and used it to haul a trailer hauling
firewood out of the woods. Continued to do so after it broke.
I'm surprised some of the pieces haven't ruined the gears.
 
"I think you can braze it back together if you're real careful."

If I could find all the pieces, maybe.
But, as luck would have it, I know a local guy who bought out
a Ferguson dealership. He has a NOS replacement for $50.
Including piston and rings. I think I'll go that route.
 
That did not break from hydraulic pressure. The lift arms were lowered and then the lift arms were raised up by some other means than the hydraulic pressure. Like in crossing a ditch with a 3 pt implement. The rod from the piston came out of the piston and then the end of the rod broke the bottom out of the cylinder. Kind of hard to explain. There should be no other damage. The rod is not actually attached to the piston.
 
moonlite37, I don't know if it shows in the picture, but there
is a chip missing from the outside edge of the piston as well.
A likely scenario as you tell it, considering his usage.
 
I think you said he pulled a wood hauling trailer. Could be that he was pulling a trailer without any stay braces to keep the drawbar fastened to the lift arms and in going down a hill made the lift arms rise beyond their normal limits. I have at least three drawbars that attach to the lift arms, They are handy at times but can easily be a problem,
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence Dune Country.
I hope to have it fixed this coming week.
I don't believe any buffing will be required though. ;)
 
LMAO. Didn't know what to expect from reading your title. Surely not that. Root cause? Guess, pressure relief valve inop? Looks like a
Ford like my 2.
 
Not sure of the root cause Mark, but based on this mark on the
outside of the cylinder, I think maybe the dogbone hit it.

"Better dig a little deeper for a bigger problem."

I did exactly that, and found exactly that.
Thanks for jinxing me Randy! ;)
