MF 65 Hydrualic problem.

[Ngvet]

I have a MF 65 Diesel and lost all my Hydralics, 3 point wont move or when hooked to equipments no lift either.

I couple years ago it did the same thing, then I found the o-rings on the pickup tubes, below the 2 hydrualic levers were bad.

Where should I start, Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm pretty sure this is a somewhat common problem.
I don't have that tractor but there are many that do and they've encountered this issue.
Hate to send you elsewhere, but I'd suggest you search this area and I'm pretty sure they'll have your answer(s).

Some of the early tractors had no screen on the hydraulic pump, but I think the 65 does. If the standpipe O rings are good, I would go next to the screen. Drain the rear housing (probably needs that anyway) and remove the right side cover with PTO shift lever. Look inside for a tin cover about 3"' diameter on the back of the lift pump. If you have a screen it probably hasn't been cleaned in years. It's no fun working through the hole but it can be done. The tin cover comes off, there's a threaded rod holding it on, then the screen will come up. You might be surprised at what you find.
