Hello everyone, just found this forum. I've got a german made John deere lanz 500 tractor. I've had it for two years and have developed a problem with the hydraulics on the three point hitch.I suspect the power cylinder is leaking and have checked it by closing the lowering control valve and shutting the engine down and it immediately drifts down pretty fast. I know this is no every day tractor here in the states,but if anyone knows somebody that has one I would love to get in touch with them concerning parts. I have a manual and a parts book on the tractor but my home town JD dealer can't make heads or tails of it.The tractor is suppose to be the same as a 3010 but the pics in the 3010 book dont look the same.I think the year is around 1962 or so, its a four cyl diesel. Any leads would be appreciated. I'm going to pull the hydraulics down and take the cyl. out and take a chance on an independant rebuilder being able to match the V-ring packing and hopefully the relief valve isn't damaged.
thanks for any advice
