Zetor 6245 Hydraulic failure

[decemberpoker]

Hello, Im a newbie to the forum and would appreciate a little help . I have a 1986 model 6245 that appears to have complete hydraulic failure. I was using last week and started to lose power in the loader. Within 5 - 10 minutes no hydraulics worked. The brakes, front bucket, and rear arms will not work at all. I have checked the fluid level and it is right between the two marks on the dipstick. I also do not see any major. Does anyone have any suggestions. Hopefully this is something that I can handly myself. Thanks

You have checked that the hydraulic pump is still in gear
and that the PTO clutch is properly engaged ?

I hate to sound dumb, but I just inherited the tractor. How do I check these two things?

tried both suggestions, still not working

Hi

You could try dropping the pump plate out of the bottom of the rear axle and see if the relief valve has blown apart or the suction filter is totally clogged.

I will try that, thanks.
