I was moving a log with my skid steer and suddenly lost drive on the left side. Towing it out I realized that the left was "free wheeling".
No loss off operations on the Right side or Lift or tilt.
Luckily I was able to use my sister's tractor to get it out of the woods and on a trailer .
My initial assumption was loss of the drive pump on the left side.
Pulled it apart today and ran the hydraulics from the right to the left. Sure enough no movement from that motor. Then I ran the left hydraulics to the right side... And didn't get any movement from the good side.
Right now I'm getting the strong feeling the tandem pump and the left side drive motor is toast. I there a chance there is some relief valve or similar stuck open and letting all the fluid by?
Any help much appreciated.
