Hydraulic issues: 755 With Bush Hog FEL
I recently purchased a JD 755 with a 1846QT fel. Loader works fine, but after a while it will only go up partially. Then, if I crack open a fitting on the fel hydro lines and bleed fluid as I raise the fel, it will raise to the fully extended position again. Then the situation will repeat. The fel will not raise the front end off the ground either. I also noticed the power steering cylinder has a leaking seal, so I ordered a new cylinder which has yet to arrive. I plan on removing and cleaning the suction screen at the rear by the pto and replacing the hydro filter. I did notice a quick connect for one of the fel hydro lines leaking and I have since stopped the leak. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what else I should do or what to check? Could air be getting into the lines through the leaking steering cylinder? This is my first tractor, I don't know much about them. So, any help is appreciated.
