Hello,
I have a ford 850 that I love but for the last year has experienced intermittent hyd' leaks. And by leaks, I mean it pours! I took the lift assembly apart last year, completly cleaning out the resevoir, replaced any o-rings I could. I also rebuilt the hyd-pump. The problem started when I borrowed a friends tiller for some landscaping work, the tractor started leaking bad around the pump mount flange. I did all the above work but it continued to leak. This spring I used the tiller again and noticed it didn't leak at all. Fast foward to last week when I was using the tractor to dig some post holes; it started leaking like a mother... again. The leak is at the same mounting flange as before. Everything is tight and I don't see any cracks.
My guess is my some debrie has plugged something (I cleaned alot of gunk out of the reservoir) and the system is creating too much pressure?
Thanks for any feedback.
George
