Have a new to me 6060, mowed with it yesterday. Want to bale with it today. No hydraulics, no steering, no 3point no lift cylinders. Hydraulic fluid level is good. Kinda puzzled, went from working fine to nothing. Any suggestions on where to start before i start tearing into it?

Update. I took the hydraulic pump off, the engine side seems ok and turns when the engine is running. The pump shaft turns and appears to have suction when the shaft is turned. i filled the pump with fluid, as best as i could, put er' back together and still no hydraulics.

Check your suction line , have found so much junk in them at the filter and screen

Put new font seal in pump, fill pump the best you can with heavy oil, along with suction line. Start engine at 2/3 wide open.

Make sure hydraulic is full of oil. MACK

Does it have the pump connected to suction on bottom with hose to tube? My 220 would loose prime after setting. That hose had a leak letting air in but no oil out and oil would drain away. Head scratcher for awhile.

Thanks guys, suction strainer was plugged, unreal how much crap was in it. I had changed all the filters on her when I bought her, didn't know about the screen in the sump.

Filled the pump like Mack instructed, new filter and hy-tran and she's working like a champ.
