Thanks for the welcome to the site. With this older tractor, and my lack of experience working on them, this will likely not be my last post! The joystick did appear to move the valves as they did before. I ran the tractor for about 30 minutes or so, which I think would be long enough to heat it all up, but I didn't check for any heat on the hoses as you mentioned. But I did not seem to pick on any noticeable change in the engine, when I tried to engage the joysticks. The tractor does have rear hydraulics, but I've not used them yet, and still have not purchased any attachments, so I'm not entirely sure about testing the hydraulics in the back of the tractor? The only other thing I did recently with the tractor, was to shut off the pto, which I could see running the shaft on the back of the tractor. But I'm assuming the pto is seperate from the loader hydraulics? If it is the hydraulic pump that failed, is this something that would be rebuilt, or replaced?
