Hi, I need your help or suggestions. I have a 1989 Ford 1720 which has a 7108 loader on it and does have the factory rear remote hydraulics. Today I was using my Ford 3 point blower to blow snow. I use the rear remote hydraulics to rotate the blower chute. I had been running about an hour when I went to turn the chute and it turned quickly and then stopped. When I went to rotate it again, it would not rotate. I then went to lift the blower using the 3 point lift and I had no lift whatsoever. Any ideas???
My front hydraulics did still work and the loader did lift and the bucket would tilt. I was some distance from my place so I had to keep running the tractor to get home. By the time I got home, I could smell something hot and noticed the hydraulic pump on the side of the engine block was steaming. It was hot to the touch. Can anyone tell me what may have happened or what to check? I am concerned about the pump getting that hot.
Thanks.
