another 123 question (hydro newbie )

[cjrolke]

well I got the motor switched in to the 123 that I am working on

got it to run but not so much on moving

It was a little low on fluid so I added some hytran I had sitting

it moved a little bit forward and that is it

the drive shaft is spinning the pump is turning

one thing I noticed is on the pressure relief valves

one side will move up when the engine is running the other side is stuck down

I am currently soaking the valves with pb blaster to help free them up

if i could get some movement both in forwards and reverse i would feel a lot better about this one

should i keep soaking the valves and see if it will free up or split the tractor and then take the valves out ?

also i know i should put a new filter, drain the fluid and clean it out. could that be some of the reason she doesn't want to move?

i have 8 of these darn things and this is the first time i have had to work on a hydro

thanks
