My TC started misbehaving, and I may try to measure hydraulic pressure (as described in the service manual) before just rebuilding the pump and/or cylinder block. Are there any *frugally priced* tool kits of acceptable quality that the mentors here might recommend for this?
Or perhaps in this case it's just not worth it and I should start by rebuilding the pump?
It's not why I posted, but I suspect someone will ask, so here's the symptom: TC was working fine. I plowed and disced a good sized garden. I had cinder blocks on the disc implement at the end. Right when I was done, the TC would no longer lift the disc implement w/o help, although it *would* hold it up in place just fine.
Answers to Legit questions I expect:
* There are no leaks.
* The TC does move the rock shaft forward and back easily with no load.
* The TC is not making any unusual noise.
* No, my crankcase does *not* appear to be filling up.
* I checked the fluid, and it was translucent, clean, and at the level of the fill port.
* I have *not* tried yet to bleed air out, but will now that another minor issue has been resolved.
Thank you.
