[stonestacker]

Hey guys
I have a mf 1020 diesel 4wd, it has been sitting for a few years, it had water in the fuel so i drained it, put
fresh fuel drained bowl bled out old fuel it is running now, but the hydraulics do not work (FRONT OR BACK) SO
I checked the fluid and it was low so added fluid, still nothing, is it possible there is air in the lines and pump and
if so how do i bleed it? thanks for any help Bill

I do not think there is a specific bleeding procedure other than lowering and raising the 3pt repeatedly. You could try changing the fluid and filters since the filters could be part of the problem. You may have a bad pump too. I posted the procedure for changing it in an earlier post, so if you need the details, do a search. Mine is a 1010 but I think they are similar. You just may have more filters to change if you have hydro drive.
