Okay, so what have you used this tractor for in the past? Your current problem is something that just now showed up? Is this 10 ft mower...

I'm not a pilot. I wouldn't know where to start describing mechanical problems concerning aircraft. However, I am a mechanic. Have...

I have a slightly different take. While I won't disagree with anything stated so far, one part of your original post has yet to be...

No, the pulley won't move. It's bolted to the crankshaft. The pump drive adapter will separate from the pulley. Or at least it SHOULD.

Using a diverter valve on the typical Massey lift pump will give you either external supply OR three point operation. You don't get both...

Do yourself a favor here. Tractors come in many configurations and the electrics can be quite different from one version to another...

Why would you expect bleed screws on a hydraulic pump or (most likely a suction) filter? Bleed screws usually would be fuel system related.

On the earlier tractors for sure there is a strainer in the tank outlet. Some are part of the fitting, some are totally separate...

If it happens again you'll have to dig a little deeper. If there's crap in the tank and lines you get to deal with it. Did you open the...
