Hi All,
Hoping to revive this thread as it seems relevant to the problem that I am seeing on my TX1300F.
I loaned my tractor to my father, as he had some work that needed doing. Strict instructions- don't run the diesel empty, as it is a b*** to bleed.
So I get a call asking if there is something wrong with the fuel pump. I asked did you run it dry? to which I got a sheepish 'I dont think so'. Which I assume means yes. So he has manually lifted and strapped up the 3PL to be able to tow it to a better location. It sat for about a month until I could get to it.
I have bled all the fuel lines and it runs beautifully again, FEL works fine and all functions are working well, so hydraulic pump has no issues. Problem is 3PL lift, it wont move no matter the location of the lever. It has always had a really slow leak, an implement will drop overnight but it still works fine. I assumed that the rings on the lift cylinder had eventually given up and I am possibly bypassing the cylinder, giving no lift.
But after reading this thread, I'm wondering if the manual raising of the 3PL has caused the issue, dislodging pins/pistons as discussed above. Is there any way that I can differentiate between the 2 possibilities without stripping it all down?
And if I have to strip it down, does anyone have the part numbers for the seals and/or pins if required?
I'm located in Australia.
Thanks,
Sam
