And thanks SPYDERLK, for the advice too. Would you recommend taking off and then reconnecting all of the hose quick connects in this process? I am envisioning this as a sealed system, so I wasn't sure if taking off and reconnecting a quick connect hose would then allow air to enter in the system, but I suppose that is the role of the quick connect in the first place. I also haven't taken the screen out of the hydraulic pump, which I believe the Allis Chalmers manual stated was there, to see if that was dirty or clogged. It sounds like I have a number of different things to look at.....
I think youll find a connector unseated, but once youre on it you might as well do em all. Air in the system self bleeds so dont worry. Filters/screen dont usually cause a sudden failure as you have described.
