I'm going to check all solenoids first, then go from there. It is a dual pump, with a 3rd pilot pump on the back.

So I bought a Gehl 602 (Mustang 6002) excavator at auction with known hydraulic problems. I was under the impression that all hydraulics weren't working, and assumed I needed to replace the pump. That was not the case. So upon firing the machine, I can: -Boom up -Curl bucket in/out -House...

Sorry fellas, I was in a hurry to head out of town when I finished this all up and I didn't even post pictures of the backhoe and finished product. So here it is all done:

Well, after a year and a half debating and researching, I finally pulled the trigger on a Milsco V5300 seat for my 2005 Branson 4720. So far I have barely used it, but seems a lot more comfortable. Cant wait to take it back up to my property for some field work, that will be the true test. Ill...

Some more progress. Tore the backhoe down so I will begin that today. She is getting there.

Got it done, wasn't too bad. Just like Dave mentioned. Took everything apart to access the top of the rock shaft, the cover you need to take off is the one with the 3pt valve attached to it between your legs. The seal Dave mentioned was of course obliterated. So once the cover is off, just...

Pictures of putting in work (add yours) Thought I would share some photos of my tractor doing work around the property these last 18 months, has been an amazing machine and a huge help. Worth every dollar spent!

Morning folks. Just serviced the tractor and in doing so remembered the box on the front of the gear case with the plug marked "Oil"; what is this for? When I open it, I don't see oil, there is no dipstick, I just see the gears. Nothing in the manual says anything about it. I always assumed it...
