Excellant !!! Thanks so much Andy and YM-135 trac.

The hydraulics work well. Only leaks are from a pipe connection that i will address and the weeping cylinder packing glands. The pump was rebuilt, the spool seals replaced and a Vickers hydraulic filter added to the system along with new high pressure and low return hoses. I found out yesterday , from the previous owner's son that the system was flushed with hi detergent ATF, several times ( working the system between each flush and fill with ATF) before the hydraulics were worked on. The young man told me that he thought that AW 32 fluid was used ( being that was the only five (5 ) gallon containers he found in the garage.

I may want to swap AW 46 hydraulic fluid ( being that the OEM recommendation was for SAE 30) and see how the system operates and possibly stop the gland weeping.

P.S. the piston rods have no gouges and seem smooth to the finger nail test .

and are not plated . I'm a retired marine and automotive machinist so providing the correct dimensions or assy will not be a problem.

Thanks again YM-135 trac and Andy . This is my first tractor ( I'm from the big city and now live in a very ,very rual, secluded section next to the Deschutes National Forest.) I hobby with high tech Z06 Corvettes, but I'm really enjoying this Case DI.
