another question???
backhoe seems weak, . where is the pressure adjustment on the JD 7 backhoe? I have 2400 psi coming from the tractor,, thanks bd
How weak? Will it pick up several hundred pounds? If you curl the bucket and place it on the ground then, with slight down pressure on the boom, uncurl the bucket carefully..does it pick up the back of the tractor? Does the relieve valve do it's job at the right pressure? Do you have a service manual? How much experience do you have with small backhoes?
Might be time to replace hydraulic fluid and filters. There are ways to test hydraulic pressures.
