Bacon's Equipment of Williamsburg will install the hydraulic disconnect lever, fix the hydraulic system, install the auxiliary valve and put on the timber rollcage. Bacon's Equipment was recommended by Freeland, who moved away, and who himself was recommended by two others.

Well, the seller doesn't have it - He said they froze up often, so the handles were taken off frequently. I'd like to get that hydraulic pump disconnecct lever (part # T21136) and the groove pin (25H50). I'd also like to get a track roller that has the grease fitting for the special slide-on tip of ...

I am not sure - I saw the yoke and splines, but didn't start it today to see.

Jim B. I apologize - you mentioned the hydraulic pump disconnect earlier. It turns out that the hydraulic pump disconnect lever is missing. There's a shaft and ball detente there, but no lever. I have asked the seller I bought it from if he has the lever. If not, I'll have to buy one.

Thank you, Stan,

I just heard about the hydraulic pump disconnect lever - tomorrow I will check that.

Perhaps I was wrong about the hydraulic oil having foamed - maybe the milkiness going away was because water settled out at rest that had been mixed in while running.

Lavoy, thanks for the tip - what's Seafoam? It turns out that this hydraulic oil had foamed, as it became clear after sitting some days.

Thank you, Jim B,

The filter is the 9.5" one, and has a big split along a seam, with stuff protruding. I ordered another from the local John Deere dealership.

Jim B, indeed I had the wrong serial #: actually it is
4E3D 069489 X
The sight L even now shows unmilky hydraulic fluid. Guess it was foamy.
I'm getting the micronic filter today.

Two friends have recommended cleaning / checking the hydraulic fluid filters. Is there a source for replacement micronic filters?

JIm B, thank you for your thoughtful, detailed reply. - I have a PC-921 parts catalog, not the correct PC-926 one. I'll check the service manual section 190, on hydraulics. - Sorry about the wrong serial number - I'll get the right one again today. I think I got the serial # from the wrong place, fo...

Do you have a 3000 psi or greater pressure gauge? Your service manual should give some testing procedures. If you take the main relief apart you are going to need a gauge to adjust it after assembly. You may need a helper to check to see if the pump shaft is turning when the lever is moved to lift ...

Thanks very much, Jim B. The shaft into the hydraulic pump is turning. I'm guessing that some particle is now jamming open the system relief valve - would you guess differently? Are there tests I can do? Now a few of the hydraulic cylinders move slightly when their control levers are opened, but wit...

The hydraulic system suddenly stopped working two days ago. I'd like to check, clean and maybe rebuild the hydraulic system pressure relief valve, so seek fresh o-rings: R26375 and any within the system relief valve, which is numbered T13132. Where one can get specifications on these o-rings, or get...
