Gravely 8123 G hydraulic problem

[healthvision]

My mower deck inches up a bit, but not much. I'm afraid the hydraulic pump is bad, but I don't know. What I wonder is whether there is hydraulic fluid that I may be missing, and if so, where do I pour it in? Thanks.

Take the hood off (may need to remove gas cap first). There should be 3 screws on each side near console and 2 upfront. Under the hood near the battery should be a reservoir with a plug in top. Manual has information about how much and what kind.

You should be able to get your manual at GravelyManuals.com - OldGravelys.info: Gravely Manuals & Parts Lists: Riding Tractors

One of my Gravelys has slow moving hydraulics because the linkage is worn and I need to make some adjustments.

On some of the 8000 series tractors you add hydraulic fluid by removing the filter and simply filling it up..
