1988 year 1720 ford tractor When I first crank the engine and raise lift handle, the lift will raise very slowly in fast jerking motions. It will lift this way for 10 to 15 minutes,

Maintanance - How to purge Hydraulic drive system Published 01/13/2010 11:56 AM ' Updated 06/02/2015 02:52 PM
How do I purge the hydraulic system?
Hydrostatic transmissions use oil, under pressure, to provide movement for the tractor. The fluid is pressurized with a pump inside the transmission. If any air is in the fluid, the pump will try to pressurize air. This condition is known as cavitation, and is detrimental to the pump since it allows the pump top operate dry. When the pump cavitates it is not pressurizing any fluid, so the transmission is not able to provide the movement needed.
If your mower is new, or has been stored for a long period (longer than 2 months) the transmission needs to be purged before use. Also, if you experience loss of drive, or slower response, then the transmission should be purged first.
The following procedure will remove trapped air inside the transmission(s).

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD BE PURGED AFTER REINSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.
Step 1- Place the rear of the mower safely onto jackstands on a level surface with engine off and parking brake set.

Step 2- Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control, located at the back of the frame, in the freewheeling position.

2a- Mowers with seperate pumps and wheel motors the freewheel is activated by turnign the bypass valves, one on each pump, two full turns.
The oil resevoir needs to be filled to the specifications listed in the owners manual before starting the purge procedure.
Step 3- Sitting in the operators seat(riders), start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control levers in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.
Step 4-Move motion control levers to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move levers to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this procedure there may be some movement of the drive wheels, but they are not under load. The air is being removed from hydraulic drive system.

Step 5-Move motion control levers to neutral (N) position. Shutoff engine and set parking brake. Check and add oil as needed for units with an oil resevoir.

Step 6-Engage transmission by placing freewheel control into driving position, or by closing the bypass valves on the pumps.
Step 7-Sitting in the operators seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to full speed. With motion control levers in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/brake pedal.

Step 8-Slowly move motion control levers forward, after the tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move motion control levers to reverse position.
After the mower moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion control levers to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this procedure with the motion control levers three (3) times.

Step 9-Your mower is now purged and now ready for normal operation.For further information or assistance, we recommend contacting your lo

Hi there
Tap the starter motor and solenoid with the wooden (handle) part of the hammer to loosen the internal workings, a possible layer of rust formed on the inside of the starter.

How much does it weigh ? If it is beyond 33 kg avoid lifting it directly. Search for handles provided on either sides of washer. Just lift it slightly and ask someone to insert wooden platform under it. Now place washer on wooden platform and pull platform gradually. Avoid jerks during motion as washer may fall apart.

there should be a place on stick to see if safe or not

Probably moving the fabric too fast and/or running the needle too slowly. Or jerking the fabric. Listen to your machine as you work, and also this is something that takes patience. Take a look at her video: http://www.quiltingdaily.com/topics/machine-quilting.aspx

They are not fast going back but they are strong. The belt is looseing tent ion bad belt.

i would think that the lift control handle is stuck in the lift position, and when the engine is on the fluid will bypass the control handle and thus raising the lift. replacing or repairing the control should solve the problem. good luck

You have a ground not grounding could be the switch itself and it may be the voltage reducer to the coil.

sounds like the starter moter is getting hot, or petrol is evaporating when turned off

is the check engine light on?
