- long 460
Just signed up as new member hope somone can help!
i bought a Long 460 last week, the 3 pint hitch seemed to work OK ,but was very slow on lift. Hooked to 6 ft rotary cutter,put quadrant in lift position, arms lifted about 4'' at which point hydraulics started to make a squealing sound ,and would not lift the cutter any higher. Unhooked cutter, tried the lift again, it very slowly lifted ,with a jumpy movment.
Today cleaned st st filter, drained fluid, which was a yellow color and very milky. Prior to draining fluid, I cleaned out check valve and rotated the small speed adjustment control counter clockwise as far as it will go .Then removed the bolt ,removed lever, and turned the speed adjustment shaft with a scewdriver one full turn before replacing lever and bolt.
i was advised to carry out this proceedure by a friend who had a similar issue .I have not as yet replaced the fluid, will do that tomorrow. I am not sure how to remove any air from the system , is this necessary? or do ifill up and see what happens.
look forward to any sugestions,Thanks.
