John Deere 1020 with poor hydraulic pressure

snowman69 · Mar 15, 2014

The high pressure pump looks like it has two inlet lines. I want to check the pressure coming to it. I think the pump in the back of the tractor is weak as it takes a little bit for pressure to build and it drops or looses pressure when using my bucket.

Does your tractor have a lever between the 2 gear shift levers?

On my tractor it is on the left side under the front on the seat. It moves forward to engage. There was some changes between our model years. If not I can find out where it is.
