I have a 1965 JD 1020 2WD gas, that I use for plowing snow and working in my gardens in the summer. The hydraulics were always slow to move in the winter but would work fine after 15-20 minutes, yet my power steering always worked fine. Lately, the hydraulics have taken much longer (30-45 mins) and I would lose my PS. This last snow storm the hydraulics moved very slow and would randomly lose pressure and my bucket would drop. Eventually I lost all hydraulics, but still have PS. Bucket won't lift, counter weight on back won't lift. PTO works.
I'm not too familiar with tractors or hydraulics, so any and all opinions are welcomed.
