Hello Everybody-
Just coming in for the day and the '85 Case 585 with 4750 hours just started having some issues. We haven't had a chance to do any real diagnostics, but any thoughts folks might have about the symptoms and possible diagnosis would be a big help for tomorrow.
Scenario:
The Case ran real good this morning, we were using an auger to put some posts in, ran about 4 hours straight with no issues (other than breaking our last shear bolts for the auger). Parked her, shut her off, went in for lunch and then an impromptu run to the parts store to pick up some shear bolts , came back out started her up later ~2 hours of downtime and BAM no power steering, bucket lifting very slowly and the transmission was slow/reluctant to engage. We ran her for a good 1/2 hour trying to get her to warm up, it was about 28 degrees out today--thinking that the hydraulic fluid was just gummed up a bit, but no change in how it operated.
We brought her back to the shop parked her and did several checks (one even according to the manual) of the tranny oil and the transmission/hydraulic fluid level came up perfect each time. Some small drips from the under the tractor which are hydraulic fluid, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Any thoughts out there from folks?!?!
Any suggestions, thoughts, insights, etc would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

New update:
We fired her up this morning and had the same issues as the previous day: No power steering, bucket raising slowly, tough to engage transmission, but the three point hitch was working fine--probably a valve problem Any suggestions for diagnosing where the issue is?
