Newbie here, glad I found you. I have opportunity to buy an 87 JD310C 2WD loader/backhoe with 4k hours for $5k. Starts right up, no smoke. Moves fwd and reverse. Loader, stabilizers and backhoe don’t move at all.
Q1: Does the hydraulic pump operate everything including the drive wheels?
Q2: Would the above lack of movement of the implements indicate pump failure or pump starvation or is there a lock out that I’m not aware of?
Q3: It seems parts are hard to find or expensive when found. Is this machine worth the trouble and expense.
I’m a master level automotive mechanic but know zip about tractor hydraulics. I hope some of the gurus on here can advise me or point me in a direction to look. Any help is appreciated.
