Hey all,
Recently had a no start issue. Troubleshooting lead me to the starter solenoid (relay) on top of the starter. I removed the solenoid and started to try and source it online. I didn't find anything that said it would work with a Massey GC2300 outside of the dealer for $200. I found...
Update 7/17/24: Well, this is overdue but I have been busy catching up on other things that slipped while working on the tractor.
First I want to thank oldnslo and dicktill for educating me on the hydraulics plumbing on the GC2310. I was wrong in my assumptions that the "manifold" that sits...
You are correct. I tore into the main control valve and found that what I thought was the pressure line for the backhoe was actually the return line which it shares with the 3pt valve. I will check your post on the 1723 plumbing. I would expect them to be similar. Thank you for replying and...
I think you are correct. When this happened the loader raise/lower spool stuck and the pressure relief would activate when I tried to roll the bucket or raise/lower the bucket. Hoping to get into it today. I don't think I want to take the pressure relief apart as I think that is the part...
That is the main control valve that I refer to. It has a flow divider in it that divides the GPM coming out of the pump into 4GPM to the loader and 2GPM to the aux port which is the backhoe. And you are correct it also controls the 3pt lift and does shut hydraulics down to the aux port when...
Yes, I have the breakdown from the service book as well as the parts book. It has been 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this tractor. I have owned it since 2015 and have worked it hard with no issues. In 2022 we retired and sold our home in Maine to move to Florida. I gave the TLB...
Hey guys,
Phase two of my hydraulics and HST issues. I was able to get everything going in my original thread by replacing the hydraulic pump and associated internal gear. You can read up on that at this link: Loss of Hydraulics and HST. Everything is working with the exception of the 3pt...
Well, it has been a slow go as I am working on it myself outside so the heat has been hampering me. I will confirm that when you lose the hydraulic pump that is mounted outside of the transmission and sits above the suction tube where the mesh screen is you lose HST, power steering, and...
Well, the reassembly is going slow with the heat here in Maine the last couple of days. I did try and start to reassemble it today. I have the new pump and pump gear. My dilemma is getting all the gears and bearings lined up to install the transmission cover. I used the two long bolts from...
I know this is an old post but I figured no sense in starting a new thread. My question is what is the purpose of the rubber bushings and collars? What issues would arise from removing them and bolting the control valve solid? Thoughts?
Just a follow up today. I did download a service manual as was suggested. i have attached a screen shot of the hydraulic flow. it pretty much confirms that without the hydraulic pump pressure you do not have any drive to the HST. I was further able to confirm this once I got the transmission...
My GC2310 suddenly lost all hydraulics and drive. No FEL, no backhoe, PS.. I was able to limp it into a serviceable location/position because it was in 4WD. Once I took it out of 4WD I had no forward or reverse and have been unable to put it back into 4WD. I thought these only had one...
