Today I was finishing up my front ditch clean out project in preparation for rocking it in. I was finish grading the ditch with my rear blade reversed to get a smooth surface when all of a sudden the engine RPM's increased and I had no 3PH or hydraulic top-link that I run off my 4th SCV.
Great, just great I had visions of getting the tractor to the dealer and big $$$$$ going with it. I checked my shop manual and according to the troubleshooting chart it was the rear hydraulic pump, the rockshaft control valve and the SCV. This didn't make sense at all as I couldn't picture all three expensive items puking at the same time, especially since the loader was still working.
Fortunately it was a simple matter of the hydraulic top-link cylinder brushed up against the Power Beyond quick coupler and disengaged the coupler just enough to prevent fluid flowing to the 4th/5th SCV and rockshaft control valve.
I'm not surprised since the 2" bore cylinder I got from Surplus Center (same as CCM's) is a tight fit between my hydraulic outlets on the back of the tractor. I think I'll look into getting a 1.5" bore cylinder and save the 2" one for a future project of some kind, or sell it.
Thank goodness it was nothing more than "Is it plugged in?" as I sure don't need the expense and headache of major hydraulic problems.
