Hello all
Here I am ageing with an old piece of equipment.
This unit doesn’t have a data tag on it so I guess the year to be some time around late 70’s to early 80’s
So here is the story.
Engine removed and overhauled 10 years ago. In stead of repairing the brakes the brake system was caped to N.S. condition. The rticulated frame has been blocked in the straight position and the hydraulic system for that was caped and is no longer serviceable. The moldboard has severe wear on it (most fasteners are in half holes) from being used with a totally worn out cutting edge.
So to say the least this unit is a refuge from the scrap yard.
I had replace cutting edge and done several other things to keep it operating.
The unit was parked about 3 months ago and was working fairly well at that time.
All fluids were checked and it was started a couple of days ago to do some work on the shell road that is the main entranceto this ranch. The engine started and ran good but there was no indication of hydraulic or transmission oil pressure.
There’s a rattling noise that was not present before in the rear of the engine.
I have checked all the controls that are provided to disconnect the transmission for towing and the engine from the driveline. They are in the proper position.
I have tried to give you all the information I can think of to see if there is any recommendation on finding a solution to the problem.
The problem is hydraulics and driveline has no power to them.
