We have a JD 490D, thats driving me nuts!!!!
In order to get any power to the right track, boom up/down, or bucket functions, we have to move the arm, swing, or left track slightly.
At first i thought one side of the pump was going bad, so we got some longer lines and connected, the front pumps pressure hose, and displacement control hose, to the rear pump, and the rear pumps lines to the front pump. This had no effect.
So next I thought, posibly the pump was not getting the signal to stroke, so after talking to a guy at deere, he sugested to disconnect the control lines to the pump, which he says will put the pumps at full stroke. I did this, and with the control lines disconnected ran the machien, and still had the same problem.
Now I am guessing my problem is in the main control valve, but after studing the hydrolic schmatics, im still stumped.
The wierd thing is when i slightly engage arm in or out while pressing the boom down, there is ample power to lift the machien off the ground, but if you dont engage arm in or out slighly, the boom will go down to the point it touches the ground and just sit there, with out even laboring the engine, but slightly engage arm in or out and bamb, it rases the machien right up off the ground. :Banghead
I would be gratefull for any help in this matter!
