To check the system pressure you can either put the gauge in a remote quick connector or on top of the pump. On top of the pump there is a small 1/8" pipe plug. Adapt the gauge to that if you don't have remotes.

Well i went over today and started the tractor and the hydraulics seem to lift better at low rpm, i started to check the pressure at the pump, but my gauge died. I investigated the noise i have heard sinse buying this tractor, ( I was told it was just air causeing the noise) The noise is coming from the relief at the pump, its a squaling noise sounds like relief bypassing, this noise appears when operating loader. I am going to try to take it to the dealer tomorrow, and pick up a service manual also, and probally ought to get injectors for my 1130 mf if this tractor going to be down.
Thanks, Ryan

Well i took the tractor to the dealer, and they put a gauge on it and done a few other checks, and said the pump is bad. So he ordered new pump, gasket, and filter. The parts and labor is all covered under warranty no questions asked. It had 500psi idling and 2300psi at 1600rpm. He said it will be done middle of next week. While i was there i found some other things and i will post my questions for these in the attachment forum.
Thanks for all the replys, Ryan

Ryan,
Now that you are getting it fixed, get them to set the relief in the loader valve. The one they checked is the system relief.

Well they checked the pressure at the loader valve, not at the pump. And i didn't turn anything back down before taking it in, so my gauge must have been going bad and giving inaccurate reading. But he just put gauge in the loader remotes and checked it there. So i must not have turned it up that much.
