520HC hydraulics

Hi,

Any trouble shooting guides or  suggestions for the hydraulic lift on my tractor? The trans runs fine, but my deck control is inoperable. When I pull the lift lever it makes the usual noise and does nothing else. Any common fail points I should look at? Any help is appreciated.

Dave, have you confirmed if the cylinder is moving or not?  Maybe a lift linkage or pin is disconnected somewhere?

I will now demonstrate my ignorance............ what cylinder( or where is the cylinder)?? I have no idea how the hydraulics work on this tractor.

The cylinder is just below and to the right of your left foot.  You can identify by the two hydraulic hoses attached.

well silly me......somehow (probably hit something with deck) the lift arm of hydraulic system became detached from deck bracket. My Dad always said if something is not working check to see if it is plugged in (always look at the most simple things first). When I first posted this thread I had just had the failure and did not bother doing a quick scan of the deck or attachments.One day I will heed  my Dads advice. I would kick myself in the ass, but my foot does not quite reach it.
