It's been about 20 years since I have posted anything here. I don't know if protocols have changed and I can't get the search box to work for me to possibly answer my own question. If I am acting out of order, please forgive me.
I recently picked up a D12 series 3 with the snap coupler hitch. I'm don't know much about the tractor's former maintenance, so I'm going through it. The rear lift is very slow to lift and wants to give up when the brush hog begins to come off the ground. I have checked the oil and its full and seems clean. I find no leaks. Looking at the oil, I believe it may be gear oil as its fairly thick.
Q#1, If so, would others believe the oil is too think for the pump to pick up the oil and pump it? I know 10w30 is what the entire tractor is recommended to use.
Q#2, what if the reference # for the hydraulic filter near the hydraulic pump?
Q#3, what brand or location does anyone recommend to find this filter?
I'm open to any recommendations/suggestions/assistance. I'd really like to hope my problem can be drained out and the solution poured back in. I know, that's likely a fairytail.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance. JP
