the tractor so that it starts a flow to the backhoe valve,
and secure it in full open position.
The above procedure results in a direct connection to the
JOHN DEERE master pump, and eliminates a return into
the rear transfer pump chamber. The problem with
returning oil into the rear transfer pump chamber is that if
the tractor engine RPM is throttled down to a point at
which the oil transfer pump cannot supply sufficient oil to
the main system pump, the main pump runs out of oil in
its sump and starts chattering.
