MODELFARMER Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Guys THE 3050 John deere are lower link sensing, at this point where the rear arms pivot my girl has developed and oil leak. Now she has done it before, and seals changed no problem, Then she done it again, so we got seals that were supposed to cure it and account for wear in the shaft, these were installed maybe only a year ago, now she's at it again, I wonder, dad has a habit of driving home with sprayer and leaving it at normal travel height. then overnight the arms drop down until sprayer is on floor Is this causing the problem?? Or is it more **** ricky needs to spend a fortune on a tractor that does maybe 300 hours a year?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I doubt it would be causing the problem... and I'm no expert on JD internals Ricky... but if you've got the link arms raised then you have pressue in the system (equal to the weight of the sprayer I guess)... not good practice to leave it up really... The creep is the same on any tractor really - it gets worse when they are more worn in... it's just the pressurised oil running through the wear in the pump/valves mate - nowt to worry about... I'd try it without the arms up for a while and see what happens overnight \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'll give you £4,000 for her Ricky :D Like Marky says it will get worse with age - to be honest is it leaking much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 we never left any implement up over night when of the rear arms, i guess it is pushing against the system when its not got the pwoer to keep it preassurised, all that weight pushing down will find someway to push the oil out i guess, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
