Bob I was given a economy power king tractor it has a hydro lift , a external pump that runs off the engine via belt , it uses a 2 way cylinder with about 1 gal oil(ATF fluid) reservoir. It has no filter , it is a 1975 and seems to work well . Should I add a filter or just leave it alone? I was kinda thinking if I use it more that it has been(which is not much) stuff might start to loosen up and start to move threw the system. Take a WAG.
people have extended the breather tubes so the correct level of fluid can be maintained and oil not being lost, I believe it has been done by just attaching tube to the rops with brass wool in the end as a filter vent.
I do not know how difficult this would be to do but when it stops working go into your hydro oil reservoir and get a sample. Look at it and see if the is real small air bubbles thru the sample if there is air is your problem, just then to figure out how.
My 50 hp Foton it came from China with a compressor for air brakes ,I guess they use them in Europe. Anyway it had a junky air filter and you suggested that I relocate the suction side to the air filter that the engine uses.
was there the correct level of oil(15w40) in the pump? It might be a good idea to run it a little and drain the pump to see if there is fuel in there mixed with the oil. The reservoirs are small and refilling can take patience, overfilling is easy.
Bob you just have to look down to see where the mower is instead of turning around and length ,they are a much shorter package, but yes some aspects a pita. Also I have a powered leaf sucker and I was thinking about moving it to a tractor and putting the leaf sucker on the draw bar. Cause the mower I use to pull the leaf sucker is on it’s way out and I was thinking about changing style of mower on a tractor that I already have VS buying another machine to replace said mower. I hope you could follow that fragmented paragraph.
yep the rhino was the idea with a drive shaft and not so many belts was what I was looking for , 20 years to late.
Bob what the mower is one that the power comes from the pto and is partially hung from the 3 point and further supported by chains and bolts I assume near the front of the engine and is hung as a belly mower . (just like a belt driven lawn tractor) Not off the back like what you linked to..
