I just love some of these older MF and Deere tractors that get hyd problems. The book gives a whole process of tests. Then tells you to fix problem A if you find it before proceeding to test B and so on. Ive had a few where the test showed big problems in 2 or 3 steps. you just get to the point of pulling other components in the system and looking in them for damage without doing the tests.Then maybe telling the guy his tractors going to cost a fortune to repair right. I can't guarantee the rest of it like motor or trans won't pile up after spending 6000 on parts/time for the original problem on a $5-$10.000 beat worn out tractor. Those guys appreciate the honesty, and will usually just move on to another machine, I had a couple recently do that and bought new.
Progress is gradually putting us guys out of business, but I got other interests in my farming, older rarer antique tractors and getting into custom backhoe loader work again. I'm getting to the point of not enjoying fixing some of these things for guys, especially with parts supply problems/costs. Plus when my own equipment service/ repairs are always 20 down the list. My stuff starts to look and run like their junk they don't look after until it don't work anymore, as I don't have time to do it all when the phone keeps ringing. Regards Robert
