Dead tractor

Just as a side note.. If you have levers that can lock in a detente, you should install a loop of hose when not in use. By running a deadheaded hydraulic pump you can destroy the pump. It doesn't take long to do that either. Glad the loade is back working again.

Hi besmith, I've got a TYM273 and that's a problem I've not had occur in 223 hrs use. Have you checked your sight glass to ensure that the hydraulic oil is full? If so, and no visible hydraulic leaks, my best guess would be one or more of your quick disconnects have gotten loose (as already suggested). Be sure that the 3pt hitch speed control valve beneath the seat is not fully closed, don't know how that might affect anything other than the 3pt but it's another area to check out. Good luck with it. Greg

The lever under the seat was not in the center.Moved it to center and loader and boxblade now work. Still no steering or no movement when engaging fwd or reverse. So still good vas dead.Will keep looking at everything whenever I have time.thanks

G'day i do not know your tractor but i would assume that trans and steering is run of one pump and aux hyd of another. I would doubt if there would be any quick connects on your steering as i would assume it would be a priority feed, if you can get to your steering valve easy then look for one of the two hoses that run to the trans and crack it open to see if you have oil flow, do not undo completely and do not get too close as hyd oil under press can do serious damage to your body.
