Long 460 - 3 point Hydraulic 

Southeast Texas. Yeah, that weather got my hotwater line at home. Luckily I had shut off valves at every branch.

william davidson mine is outside kept. the metal causes condensation to form inside and thus you get water inside the tank.

Yes that's exactly what happens. It is amazing how much condensation accumulates

Well first thing you want to do is check that you have hydraulic fluid. There should be a dip stick to the right side of the tractor around where you foot goes but up on the body of the tractor. Next after you've verified you have sufficient fluid in the system to operate the 3 point lift you will want to make sure that your handle is operating as intended. If you go behind the tractor and kneel down next to the right rear tire and look inside the control box, make sure that everything is connected correctly. It's possible that this has somehow become disconnected. Obviously, from this video you might consider opening your filters cap and ensuring that the fluid is able to pass through appropriately. The large line that the filter is located on is a return line. The return line if opened at the filter replacement/checking location WILL drain your hydraulic system due to the way the system was designed. Do not open this location if the tractor is running. Essentially the hydraulic works like this. Resevoir holds the fluid, the fluid travels up the large line to the pump. It comes out of the pump through the smaller line, the smaller line travels to under your seat where the 3 point piston is located and under pressure based on the location of the lever will adjust the arms on either side of the rear of the seat up or down. The fluid then travels back to the tank. Rinse repeat. So Make sure there is fluid, make sure the lever is connected correctly (Mine has come disconnected before) and make sure that the fluid is able to travel up the large return line. If none of those work you're issue is either the pump has failed, or it's possible that the seal on the piston has failed. Pumps run 300-500, tear down of the 3 point piston and arms can get expensive. So check the basics first, and I'd recommend a shop if you're unable to find the issue there.

longparts.com/ Is where I ordered all of my parts.

www.longparts.com/320-c-20727.html from the looks of it, you said it was 320. So I believe this is the subpage you'd need to look for more part options.

If while the handle is in the raised position and the 3 point lifts, but the hydraulics lower on their own over time while the tractor is off, or they can be forced down with weight while the tractor is on. Then it could be a few different things at that point. One - The pressure release has failed and the pressure to raise the 3 point and the pressure release valve are at near or same value. Replacing the pressure release valve may fix the issue. I do not see this item listed. Two - The Hydraulic piston for the 3 point has a damaged oring, or backup ring. This is based on my very limited knowledge. The best next step will be to take it to a shop to have it properly diagnosed. Once you know what the problem is you can search for the specific part needed. Below is a facebook group dedicated to UTB tractors. People on that page may be able to provide you with more answers that I'm unaware of. facebook.com/groups/227614693997743/?multi_permalinks=1425521407540393&notif_t=like&notif_id=1499446708491668

Vernon Hardee that doesn't automatically mean the pump. that could be a bad pressure release valve, bad seal in the main hydraulic body such a main or backup piston o-ring. pumps are expensive, see about getting the pressure from the pump tested before throwing the part at it. if the tractor isn't working right don't be afraid to check the manuals troubleshooting steps.

I replaced both the power steering and the hydraulic pump but now I need a schematic to show me how to hook the lines back up I it's been so long since I took the old ones off now I can't remember

The fill is under the right of the seat for the 3 point. If the dip stick is showing you have fluid but there isn't anything in that filter then it sounds like the return line might be clogged or the pump is bad.

Thank you! When I fill under the seat, does that fill for the transmission as well? Definitely no fluid coming out of filter housing now. Any tips on testing the pump or clearing out a clogged line? Thank you so much again for the help as I can’t find much info on these tractors

@@adamrhymer878 the fill under the seat fills the rear end and transmission. You said you filled from the shifter cover. If you unbolted that it's possible that debris got knocked loose and clogged the return line. I mention in my video the return line is the 3/4 or so line that runs from the bottom of the transmission case near the drain plug and to the inline filter, then up to the pump. If you again remove the shifter cover you can put you hand down where that return line meets the transmission casing and see if anything is blocking it. If you find debris you want to remove it. It's most likely a clogged return line. These pumps are gravity fed. The fluid level should be higher than the pump. Because the large return line is under the casing, gravity should force hydraulic fluid down the tube and to the pump. If you cannot clear any debris but fluid does not run to the filter, then it's possible you maybe can take compressed air and blow it from inside the transmission casing towards the filter to try and clear the line. At the very least there should be a generous flow of fluid from that line without the tractor running. Please run the tractor as little as possible until the fluid flows through that line. Without fluid the pump has no lubrication and can burn up.

There should be a plug on the body of the tractor under the transmission housing. You should see it draining into the pan in the video. Pull that plug to drain the fluid from the body of the tractor. I'm not sure if there is a recommended fluid for use with the tractor. I purchase it from Oreilly's in town. They come in 5 gallon containers. www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/o-reilly-oil-4527/chemicals---fluids-16461/maintenance-chemicals-16867/grease---lube-16582/hydraulic-fluid-17707/c48289420d31/o-reilly-conventional-tractor-fluid-30w-5-gallon/74209/4601118/2004/dodge/ram-1500?pos=0 Once drained and the filter replaced you would put the plug back in the bottom, then start filling with the fluid. In my case the fill location is under the right side of the seat. Using a funnel I'd put in the fluid. To the right side of the tractor body down near the brakes should be a dip stick for ensuring the fluid has reached the appropriate level. I'm not sure of the specific amount required, you'd just want to fill till it's at the appropriate mark. When you drain the system it should get you an idea of how much fluid is required to fill your system. When you drain the fluid you'll want to let it drain for a while. Especially if it's gunked up like mine was. The fluid in my tractor was the hydraulic fluid which was used for the 3 point, the transmission, and to oil the rear end at the same time.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help I’m new to these long tractors just got one. I may come back and ask you if I have trouble with something. Thanks!

Hi Pedro, sorry for the long wait time for a response, the power steering is separate from the three point. There should be a reservoir under the hood on the left side (if facing from the seat) up near the front. The filter should be inside the reservoir.

Hi, my one has the oil tank under the seat and shares with PTO.

@@pedrospain571 Well mine used the chassis for storage of Hydraulic fluid, which was shared for both the 3 point and the PTO, but there was an additional smaller resevoir under the hood which was used explicitly for the power steering.

There is a stop adjustment on mine, would be a bolt around the edge of the seat on the lift lever side. The bolt gets adjusted for the max extent for that. Alternately if there isn't enough fluid to fill the cylinder that could happen as well. 2005 is quite a bit newer than I'm used to looking at. I have another video where I believe I mention it where I've taken apart the three point piston and explain the different parts I was familiar with you might look at.

the hydraulic fluid was milky and was changed out to fresh fluid also a new hydraulic filter has well

might be the O ring seal in the piston.

@@yenxiong6225 i would think if it was the O ring that it wouldn't lift at all, or wouldn't hold with additional weight. That's just a guess though. I hope you get your issue sorted out. Not many videos of these tractors. A lot of people appreciate the couple I do have. May consider making some of your own to share your experience with the newer model.

@@Zerkini thank you man, I sure will make some videos.

I would be ok with it, but then comes the issue of transmitting the phone number. How would you like to go about that lol

I joined the group. But, lucky for me, I got it working today. It seems the water in the system clogged the filter. I did some bush hogging today. She is running like a champ.

Alton Johnson glad you got it working.
