Front Loader Not Moving at All.

Actually I already did this very thing, sorry, maybe I should of said something. It was coming out at what seemed like a good rate, maybe relatable to a garden hose?

If you are going to test the pressure with a gauge, install a tee on the end of the line with the gauge on an open port on the tee. Use hydraulic fittings not plumbing fittings.

Install a valve on the open part of the tee. Again a hydraulic valve not a plumbing one.

With the tractor running and oil discharging into the pail, gradually close the valve and see if the pressure rises significantly. Don't close the valve completely as you could be dead heading the pump.

A different test, again with hydraulic fittings,would be to remove both loader hoses for say the lift arms. On the hose which extends the cylinders connect the pump line. The other loader arm line goes into the pail so oil can leave the other side of the cylinder. Remove any quick coupler so the oil can escape.

Start the tractor and the loader should lift immediately. Don't let it go all the way up as you will again be dead heading the pump.

This is quick and easy with one caveat, getting the loader back down to the ground may take some doing. The line will be under pressure and of course the loader will want to drop so prepare by holding it up with something that will allow it to drop slowly when disconnected or you can connect it back up to the valve then let it drop.

I see nobody talks about the 3point lever . Take the 3point arms to almost at the highest then close the isolatervalve ...then take the lever to its higest position . That wil give you a labouring sound from the engine indicating that your hydraulic pump is working. If you get that sound you know your pump is still good . Now connect your FEL and see if it will work .
