Is the pump and or loader valve some place that is accessible? If yes does either one warm up quickly when trying to raise loader? A failing pump will typically get warm much quicker than rest of the system.
I believe the pump is inside the rear end and the valve is under the sheet metal
Did you clean out the pickup filter also along with the spin on filter?Level is good just changed fluid and filter last summer. Good color
I did not pull the screen. Didn’t know about it till after I drained and refilled the hydraulic oil. I will pull that. If nothing else to check for metal on the magnetI own a newer 2025r. Mine has both a hydraulic oil filter and a sump screen. Does yours have a similar setup? Did you clean the sump screen if you have one? They can get pretty gummed up. I’d still pull the screen and see what’s there. You will probably end up having to drain the fluid but you can reuse it if it’s clean.
Yes. I don't think the screen itself is the problem. But yes, you will get to check for mechanical failure within the transaxle. I'm still optimistic that this is a valve issue. But I just can't quite explain how. Hoping for a easy/cheap fix.I did not pull the screen. Didn’t know about it till after I drained and refilled the hydraulic oil. I will pull that.
