Just bought a 2005 Case 570MXT landscape tractor, about 2 hours into use the hydraulics & steering went out. Quite a squealing noise from the front of motor. Discovered the shaft from the front of crank is turning but the pump is not. Ideas or suggestions what is needed and the complexity of the repair? Tractor is on my very remote ranch and would like to take all parts and tools necessary for the repair. Would greatly appreciate input.
Make sure along with your standard tool kit you have 1 good 18mm wrench. Sounds to me like the coupler is stripped and will need replacement. Unfortunately if the pump splines are damaged the pump will also need to be replaced. Put a new fan belt on before reassembly.
