Quite 3260

[verdifish]

Hi all, I've got my hands on an old Ford 4000 with a quike 3260 loader that seems to have lost all hydraulic power. any tips or hints?

How is it plumbed in ? Aux services knob fully out ? quadrant lever raised ?
Oil topped up ? Filter OK ?( internal IIRC)

Knobs out. levers up. havnt a clue where I would check levels and or filter. I'll take some photos for you!

Oil level check plug bottom arrow, top up plug top arrow. Filter change dealer job, I think.

I used it Tues wed last week and it's been sat since with the loader down,but no oil leak anywhere. ! it is exactly as the above illustration.

Well, is the 3 point linkage working ? If it is it will rule out tractor hydraulic problems.
How do the levers work ? are they mounted directly on the spool block ? Are they cable controlled ?, if so has a cable snapped/ stretched ?

All this talk of "knobs out"

Yep 3 point is working fine. will take photos of the levers and spool arrangement tomorrow when it's light. it's a head scratcher.
