ok, so i finally got a chance to tinker with my 354 a little bit. I drained and refilled my hydraulics, checked the fluid level with the dipstick unscrewed and just setting on top of the case, it is full. I used a couple of pipe nipples and some hose to relocate the dipstick/vent cap higher up on the ROPS. Once everything was full and all modifications were done I hooked up to my brush hog and headed back onto the hill to try it out, much to my dismay once I got against the side of the hill again, I lost the hydraulics again. However, this time once I got back to level ground the hydraulics still would not function. Is it possible to get a an incline to steep for the hydraulic pump to pull fluid from the case or could it possibly just a case of the hydraulic pump finally deciding to give out and it just so happened to be against the side of the hill?? Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome and wanted.
Ok, so I went out to recheck the hydraulic fluid level and the stick is missing out of the cap now. If i remove the set and take the top cover off of the case will that allow me access to try to find the dipstick?? Also as I was looking over the area around the dipstick I noticed that the gap between the lift arms and the case is a lot wider on the top than it is on the bottom, is that normal, I am assuming not.
Also do they make a kit to add hydraulic outputs on the rear of the tractor to run implents such as a post driver??
Thanks for all the info, I have joined CTOA and expect to be rely on everyones knowledge quite a lot as I am new to the Chinese tractor market.
also when i get on the side of a hill alot of hydraulic fluid leaks out through the holes of the dipstick cap
