3-Point Hitch Ford 1700 No Hydraulics

When I went to fix it, it miraculaously was working, BUT the filter was filthy so I'm guessing the problem was caused by fluid flow. Changed fluid, cleaned filter and all O rings and now works great - nice and smooth and more responsive than before. Always happy with simple fixes. Thanks for the all the info.

Success at last, anytime you find that it is not the Hyd pump for the old rig is good news.

I know this is an older post but is there a way to get the photos to show again as I am having the same problem with my 1910?

He most likely had a clogged screen. It's a metal screen that looks like a filter, it it locate on the back axle on the right hand side of a 1700. Not sure if the 1910's have a screen or if they changed to a real filter. I know my 1920 has a real filter. Filter is much easier to change than to clean the screen. I had a 1700 and my screen would clog about one every year and a half.

Folks,

I can not do the 3rd party hosting unless I pay quite a bot and that is not sustainable. However, you can right click and open the image in the new tab, I have made those pictures public.
