James: If you are not getting any hydraulic function when you move the levers, probably Charles was right on from the beginning. Maybe you do need the kit. Lack of hydraulic function can only mean one of two things; either something is plugged or the system is very low on hydraulic oil. Have you checked the oil level as per the manual? Have you cleaned the screen at bottom of touch control on left just ahead of battery? You shouldn't run the tractor, at least not very much until this problem is corrected. Right now you may only need a $100. kit, You keep running it while hot and you'll soon need a new $350. pump. Just yet the pump must be damn good or you wouldn't be getting this heat.

Here is what I would do next, and all of this has to be done to install the kit anyhow. Drain the system of all oil that will come out drain at the base of touch control. Then remove the cylinder type screen. If it is plugged or yes even plugged so badly it has collapsed, I would clean it up, maybe even get a new screen. If that screen is plugged, after cleaning or replacing, I would fill touch control with new hy-tran, just to see if that makes any difference in hydraulic performance.

However if that screen is clear and not plugged, you may as well order up the kit. No point in even filling it back up with oil. I don't think low hydraulic oil is cause of your problem, as that wouldn't cause leaks at pipes coming from pump. Sounds more like your trying to pump oil through a blocked passage.
