Wouldn't imagine you've heard of the dealer - Mid State Equipment off Baldwin Rd in Fenton. They are a smaller dealer and the only one nought yet bought out by Tri County around me. I will admit I bought my last new tractor (3120) from Tri County because of the price, but like to support the little guy when I can. The 3120 was just a demo model so the price was to spectacular to pass up, even though I wanted a larger model.I am 45 minutes away from you and interested in what dealer you use.
Also, how many hours are on this machine? Has the hydro oil and filter been changed?
Dirt or corrosion in the system could cause this?
That's what I was thinking. I've been known to overlook somethings, but I had it where it should be working, its just not. Unless there's some trick beyond the obvious, then I might have to take it to another dealer that knows what they are doing. We will find out for sure tomorrow! I'll be sure to update.As I mentioned (and showed) just a little corrosion on the spool can/will foul it. If the dealer find nothing-you may have to tackle this yourself if your capable-There solution may be just to replace the diverter bank.
I am not quite sure how you you could use it "wrong" :dunno: Press the button...does it diverter to the rear...no...than there is something wrong.
That is correct. I guess he thought it wouldn't move at all, when he started it up and it travel a little ways he assumed all was good. The problem is it just won't quite make it all the way and it won't latch the rippers in to keep them from floating back up. So I sat out in this cold, windy weather while he tried everything that I did for a week without any luck. Luckily it was the owner out with me and he won't be working on the machine, but an actual mechanic!So you had to go back in and show him the problem?
Unfortunately it's out of warranty and it will be out of pocket. He believes it's just not enough current getting to the diverter to divert it. I'm no expert on this stuff, so you would know better than I. Hopefully I'll know something more soon.Good luck, but I am doubting is electrical myself from the symptoms you described. Are you paying the bill on this or is it under ant type of warranty?
There is a chance of the fluids, I really don't know. I may have to go ask them again today what they thought was going on, maybe I misinterpreted but I'll get some more details. If they continue I may suggest them some of your ideas. Like I've said, I don't know much about the diverter stuff, so anything helps.I don't wan't to pass judgement on your mechanic because I have no idea what he has found out yet. I will say that most of my experience with solenoid operated valves has been that when the coil fails it simply opens up. If the valve itself is failing or hanging up the coil may not be able to move it properly and that is what your problem sounds like to me so far.
I was wondering if when you had the fluids changed if some trash got stuck in the diverter valve?
Good! And I sure hope so! I have a laundry list of things to do:thumbup1gif:Yes, that does sound more like the problem. It could even be a hose that has collapsed internally. Sounds to me like your going to have your 110 in good working order soon. :good2:
Good call. :thumbup1gif:Oh, and they got the calcium out of the tires! Now I don't need to get those new rims on order
