New old guy from Missouri

[rooster-tail]

Just found the introduce yourself thread. I'm retired construction so I've been around skid steers for years. Ran the equipment but never had to work on them. Bought an 873 that needed work for a good price so I learned as I went. WOW! Been browsing the sight for information for about 6 months now and figure I better register.

I too just registered. I bought an 853H that wouldn't pick up the load or tilt-up with power. The drive motors work fine. With the information and advice, I have been reading from past posts I eliminated cylinder leakage. It appeared as though it was either be the dual pump or the dual main relief valve on the main valve body. Ended up it is the main relief valve. I am taking the valve to a hydraulic shop to see if they can rebuild before I attempt. There is a split o-ring but it seals the valve to the valve body. Thanks for all the great advice on this site!!!!!!!!
