[QUOTE="Oliveau, post: 7624123, member: 159650"] I’m still thinking electrics. Back along in the last century (1980’s)! I had one of the three Ransomes CTV which was basically similar to the first Chafer SP machine. I never had transmission problems, (pump on the back of the engine) except for oil getting hot on long road journeys. But I did have hydraulic problems (belt driven pump off the front of the engine). Sometimes the boom hydraulics would play up which an auto electrician eventually traced to a bad earth. Do your brakes come on automatically when the engine stops - ie no hydraulic pressure - with a switch to apply the brakes when the engine is still running? I assume that the steps go down when the brake is on and vice-versa? Can you get at the transmission pump to slacken off a pipe to see if it’s actually pumping? [/QUOTE]
