2001-B2410-Hydraulics won't lift

[billdogger]

I need advice for my B2410 Hydraulic lift. My 3-pt nor my belly mower won't lift. It was a sudden happening, not gradual. Your advice is appreciated.

Check your valve under the seat!

thanks for the reply, the valve is unlocked. Transmission and power steering works fine.

The valve control under the seat is normally the thing people forget to check, seems you've done that. I assume you've also checked fluid levels, etc. Have you been under the tractor to see if something is jammed under there like a stick. I've heard of that happening as well. Does the loader work correctly?

thanks tim for the input. Fluids are ok....no FEL...although following recommendations per manual to turn steering wheel all the way back and forth to eliminate possible air the 3-pt and belly will lift and immediately fall. thinking about changing hyd filter.

It sounds like you have an air leak. You may have jambed something like a stick into a hydraulic return line. Drop the deck and check all the lines, fittings and filters for damage and loosness. I'll bet that you find something.
