Bought a 2130 John deere ,after starting tractor thepower steering nor hydraulics will work until you start turning the steering from left to right a couple of times power steering starts working then the front end loader will also start working?
Thanks for your reply I changed oil and filter,cleaned the screen. I also opened the flush valve,, on the front hydraulic pump,with no results still got the same problem. Coming to you from Hallettsville,Texas.G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder, from wherever in the world you are.
Well, it's got to be something 'common' for that/those symptoms to occur. There must be a screen or valve within the hydraulic system that is gummed-up or sticking until you engage the steering, 'handraulically'. It's an older tractor and I don't know when the hydraulic fluid was replaced and the filter/screen cleaned.

I changed the oil and filter and cleaned the oil screan and flushed the front hydraulic pump. I also installed a control valve for the front end loader,closed system.HAllen

Since you have a newly purchased used tractor 1st/simplest thing to do is change hyd filter(JD part # AR75603) & check/clean hyd oil suction screen. One needs to drain hyd oil or block hyd filler hole with a plastic bag in order to create a vacuum to slow oil from draining. I suggest to perform my suggested maintenance then report back.
