Was power harrowing yesterday in 2nd gear in the 3rd gear of the hydrashift. Pulled the hydrashift back to 1st notch and carried on power harrowing but then moved the hydrashift back up to 3rd notch and there was no change. Tractor is now permanently stuck in 1st gear of the hydrashift range.
It never slipped but did used to hesitate quite a while going from 1st to 2nd of the hydrashift. Now it won't change up at all.
I changed the transmission oil and filters just last summer but the previous owner had been running without the cartridge filter that sits in the RHS near the assister ram, so I changed that filter again after 50 hours as a precaution. I am going to change it again. I can't remember where the hydrashift filter is? Underneath?
The lift arms also become very hesitant to move up and down when the oil is hot but move OK when the oil is cold. Don't know if this is part of same problem or something different.
Any ideas of the nature of the fault would be welcomed before I strip it down. Could it just be the hydrashift control linkage come off but can't see it as under the cab???
What's the tractor worth as it stands? It's mechanically sound and pulls well other than this fault? Cab a bit tatty inside. Is on a full set of big terra tyres but no original rims or tyres.
