1986 Ford 1720
Hi,
My 1986 Ford 1720 3 point and loader stopped working. I noticed the loader was working real slow for a couple weeks. Then it suddenly stopped working. Also the 3 point is not working. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
Rich

Hydraulic fluid low. Filter plugged, hydraulic pump is shot. Pressure relief valve is stuck wide open. Forgot to make your loan payment. Loader hose disconnected. Wrong hydraulic fluid weight. Water in hydraulic fluid is frozen, plugged with ice.

I checked the fluid and added some of the correct fluid. 134 I had lost a bit of fluid in the past cause one of the O rings on the control value for the loader was leaking. I had replaced them several times over the last couple of years. I also checked all the hoses and they seemed fine.

Guess my next step is to check the filter. Then I’ll check the pump.

I paid cash for the tractor so it was not the loan payment.
