Is anyone familiar with a Mahto skid steer machine? I have a friend who has an L1300 and he has asked me to look at it. Not sure what I’m getting into but the left hand joystick seems to bog the engine and barely pulls forward or backwards the right side joystick works normally. He is also...

HYDRAULIC PUMP MODEL NO. 34PP1 40 CM3 (2.4 IN3) - ST230612

Hey Guys I just wanted everyone to know that the problem with my 2550 tractor and 245 FEL has been corrected. Tx Jim was a great help to me and gave me the information i needed to fix it. It appears that the stroke control seat had some debris in it, not allowing it to seat properly. I did...

IT WORKED! Praise the Lord and thank you very much Jim! This is what I did. I pressure wash away the dirt and grease so I could see what I was working on. I installed my pressure gauge and checked pressure. The pressure at idle was bouncing from 500 to 600. Then I backed out (CCW) the...

Hey Jim I am going down in the morning to work on my tractor and I do have another question, if I may. Does 42 screw into the top of 43? I found a picture of my pump “I took in the past” and that’s what it looks like to me. I believe I do have the 40 CM pump. Thanks

Good Morning Jim I am glad you are willing to help, so thanks again. I have been reading through this a few times and I do think I understand (now anyway) what you are telling me about the de-stroke valve (43) so I will look for it on Tuesday. I just returned home last night from Florida and I...

Yes Sir it does. That was my mistake as we (my son and I) did clean it in the past. But I will check and clean it again just to make sure. Thank you

First I need to correct one thing, we (my son and I) did check and clean the screen in the past. I had forgotten that, but he reminded me of it today. Yes Sir you are correct I was confused and thought it was one and the same. That is my fear! I don’t want to change anything unnecessarily and...

Sorry for the slow response but I’ve been on the road back yo GA. I changed the hyd oil and filter back about four years ago after I got her. But I only changed the hyd oil about a month ago when I changed the load control bushings and seals. The hyd oil that came out looked good and of course...

Thanks for asking It has been about four years since I changed the fuel oil and Hyd filter and I have never cleaned the screen. I’ve only had this tractor for four years and I don’t have 250 hours since then. I don’t know where the screen is located, but I’d like to check and clean it to make...

Ok Guys I got rained out but before I did, I did check for an internal fluid leak. What is the three-point hitch up and the fuel cap off I could not see anything flowing or spraying around. Tomorrow I will get under and adjust the stroke control. One question can I take it all the way out and...

Yes it has two remotes! I have moved the valves back and forth but that did not make any difference. I also don’t have anything running off of them right now. But I will try that again today. Also I have learned that one of the guys has been driving the tractor around with the E break on. Now...

Thank you very much. I will try this after church today. I believe my SC is at the bottom of the pump if it’s the same one that controls the pressure.

Good morning guys My tractor is a 2550 built in 1985. I am visiting my cousin in North Carolina, and we have been working my tractor pretty hard the past few days. Long story short, the hydraulics seem to have quit. On Friday there were some chattering in the hydraulic lines but once I idled it...

Hey Guys I am here searching because I am in the same boat as MMagis was. I hope he found and fixed his problem. I am in North Carolina this weekend and after two days of hard work my 1985 JD 2550 loader and three point quite working. Friday I did have a chattering in the hydraulics a few time...
