hydraulic question

[ptsg]

Wondering if it is a mechanical issue and not an hydraulic issue. Maybe there is a shear bolt or broken key in the motor shaft.

It should still have the power with your tractor, it would turn slower due to less GPM available. Have you used your remotes with another attachment? Is the relief valve for the remotes set at the right pressure?

Those are valid points. I will look at mechanical issues to see if anything looks wrong.
I have used the remotes for top and tilt. I will have to figure out how to check the relief setting of the remotes. I'm an electrical guy not a hydraulic guy so I am still learning. Thanks

Testing the pressure available at the remotes is simple.

Buy a pressure gauge and 1/2 a quick coupler fitting . Around $30.

Plug the test gauge into a rear remote. With tractor at max rpms, move rear remote lever to direct flow to your gauge. Read immediately and stop test.

Finished. In 5 seconds you have your answer. Do not continue test for any longer as you will overheat hydraulic system.

You could also connect the same gauge, using a Tee, into the supply line to the sweeper motor so you can see what is happening as you try and operate it.
