Hydraulic question

[WH_Conley]

I have a John Deere 710B backhoe. A couple of weeks ago it just quit. No Hudraulics, brakes, power steering. Nothing. After some investigating I found that it had a charge pump in the bell housing. As it was not getting any oil to the main pump I was told that it was probably the charge pump. Turned out it was a "Torsion Damper", looks like a clutch, just bolted solid. Finally got parts and got it back running today. I still have no hydraulics, brakes or power steering. I will move forward and reverse. Getting oil to the front. What could be wrong with this thing now?

I'm not familiar with the back hoes does the pump run off the front of the engine and if it does is the coupler slipping on the shaft

If there was a sudden stop of the hydraulics it's most of the times a stripped spline shaft. Very common on tractors, combines, lawn mowers etc.
Can you find out if the main pump is turning when engine is running ?

[WH_Conley]

It is turning. The reason it quit to start with was the "damper" striped out. The damper goes where a clutch should but is bolted solid.

Most likely the pump is air-locked. Try cracking a hose and bleed the air out of the system

Just walked in to get a drink. It started working just as I was getting ready to check for dirt under a valve.

Glad you got it fixed.  Hope it wasn't to expensive.
