Lx 485 hydraulic problem

[sbedard]

hi guys! I purchased a used New Holland lx485 this past fall to as the primary snow removal tool at my home. Worked great all winter until this past snow storm when all the hydraulic functions ceased to work. After doing a little reserch i can along the topic on the pressure switch failling so i ordered a new one, replaced it and to my luck nothing... Now my problem is that the skid steer is in the middle of my driveway is there a valve i can open to help this thing move free so i can tow it? I also have the service manual but cant seem to find anything about opening a relief valve or what have you. Thks

There are not any tow valves on the hydros.

If the engine runs but nothing works chances are the connection between the engine and pumps has failed. Lots of threads here on those things. Have to drag it out of the way though.

Hey guys thnks for the imput. Finally had a chance to take a real good look at the tractor and saw the damage. The two bolts from the pump to the bellhousing, and the two lower ones from the punp bracket to the bellhousing sheared resulting in a striped pump shaft and disc. All said parts are ordered should be back running soon. thnks!
