I think I just raised the seat, & removed all the lines & hoses that are in the way. Bolt heads are very close to the pump, so I couldn’t get a socket on them. Wound up just using an open end wrench. Pumps stayed in place once bolts were removed. Had to be a bit of a contortionist to pull them...

Can’t say for sure, but the low pressure light probably did come on. As far as the pumps go, does 1 side seam to be weaker than the other? I would start there. Realistically, it’s not much more work to take both off. There worst part is the lower bolt. Can get to it from an access hole...

I didn’t do any pressure testing because of a lack of various fittings & lines. I couldn’t think of any other way for hydraulic oil to enter the gearbox other than through the pump seal. No clue how to determine which pump seal failed. Flip a coin & pull one! Good luck. To add to the weird...

06D06 & 06D06A show the Hydrostatic Case Drain.

The motors and pumps each have a case drain. The motor drains are steel tubes that run under the motors. The pump case drains are 1 of the 2 steel tubes that connect each pump under the seat. Despite what BijouHills54 said, mine had a check valve installed. There’s a T on the lt side pump that...

I don’t own an LX885 any more, but mine didn’t have glow plugs. It had an intake heater. If that’s the issue, it’s pretty cheap and easy to replace. There was also a button next to the service / run switch to manually activate the heater. Push and hold for 10 - 30 seconds.

I have a 98 New Holland LX885. It went down hard a few weeks ago. Wound up demolishing the #1 cylinder, bending the connecting rod, and smashing the piston. The rod and piston weren't a huge deal. I could've bought them and been back in business in a few days. The cylinder was a problem. The...

Just wanted to follow up here. I put a new starter and new EIC in 2 evenings ago, and everything seems fine. When I pulled the old starter off, one of the bolts was missing. I'm sure that couldn't have helped anything. It's pretty heavy to be supported by 1 bolt. 2 if you count the one...

Of course mine has the silver lines. Do the dealers have a computer or something to test the board? I'm guessing not. Sounds like I have to track down a known good EIC. May take a while for that. I'll post back once everything's squared away. Thanks again for all the information.

I picked up a new seat harness today. Now I have power @ all the pins @ the appropriate time. I didn't realize the previous owner had the seat switch bypassed. When I bought it, he showed me his start up sequence, & he used the service position of the run/service switch as a "off". Anyway, that...

Hey Mike, I have power @ pin 4. The wires for the switch in the seat are spliced together bypassing the seat switch. I didn't check w/ the run/service switch in run yesterday. The book says when the switch is in the service position, power stops there. Once I put it in the run position, I had...

I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow. To answer your question, the foot pedals lock when the seat belt is undone or when I start it in service mode. Thanks again.

Here's what I have: Power @ 14. Good ground @ 13. When I turn the key on, I have power @ 14,12, & 5. I never got power @ 4 when I sit in seat. I'm wondering if previous owner bypassed that for whatever reason. I can start the machine w/o sitting in seat. Anyway, back to test. When seat belt is...

I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Based on everything you said, I assume that's the wiring from the P2 harness on the board. Hoping it all checks out, cause I'm pretty sure I don't have any spare instrument panels laying around!

Hey Mike, I tried unplugging that harness. Had no effect on the light. I don't know if this is incidental or related, but I think my starter is going bad also. When I tried starting it I could hear the starter relay clicking, but the starter wouldn't do anything. I tapped on it a few times, then...
