I know this is beating a dead horse.....
But recently bought a john deere 2010, I know some of you say they are junk. Oh well, I bought it anyways.
It runs fantastic. Starts perfect and runs great.
The problem is, I can't lift heavier loads with the 3pt hitch.
So far i've changed the hydraulic fluid and and cleaned the screen. It will lift a few hundred pounds(300), but will not lift my pallets of firewood(650-700).
It has the dual rockshaft which I don't know alot about. It has 2 levers on the dash one for inner rockshaft arms and one for outer rockshaft arms. It then has a lever down by your left foot that is the rockshaft selector lever with '1' being the rear position and is for inner/outer arms to be used independently and '2' being the forward position and is for inner/outer amrs to be used together or parallel. The inner and outer arms are currently pinned to work parallel instead of independent.
Power steering works good.
I was able to lift the heavier loads for a few days by moving the rockshaft lever selector down by your left foot forward to the 2 position and using the inner rockshaft lever on the dash. But the 3 point doesn't seem to move at all if I use just the 3 point hitch lever(outer rockshaft arms). I was getting it to work by raising the inner rockshaft lever and moving the rockshaft selector lever by your feet to the '2' position. I know can't get it to lift anything over 300lbs at all.
I know its a long shot but thought maybe someone here would have some info.
As an added note, when the rockshaft selector lever(by your left foot) is in the rear '1' position the arms won't raise at all.
