Pump is in the gearbox behind the cover in front of the right rear axle. Test pump pressure with a gauge into a spool valve outlet. Lift valve is in front of the left rear axle, 2 solenoids on a valve. Push one end manually to go up t' other to go down. See if it's any faster than using the switches, but make sure the feckin handbrake's on (if it works) before you get underneath
Start with simple things like hitch rods and any pivot pins on the rear linkageThanks,
Is there a special fitting / dial for the pump check as I do not currently have one so will need to purchase the kit?
Also - I assume I cannot take any plates off due to the axle oil?

Check there is enough oil in too. Simple things first
might be worth pulling the pins on the lower link arms just as a trial.OK, so being a muppet with the tractor thing - am I correct in thinking I need to remove said items to be able to ascertain if they are free moving?

is it any faster with weight on like an implement or even a loaded trailer on the pickup hitch.
try the very simple things first on the control panel there are 3 dials along the top the left one is up speed the right is lower speed have these been tampered with ? as in turn them and see if it speeds up
Speed control been moved ? or rusted up linkage, if going up ok pump must be ok.I have just hooked up some chain harrows (6mtr wide), and the arms go up and down quite quick with the load on. But when I was hooking the tractor up - it was like waiting for paint to dry watching the arms go down.
Going up is fine.
