IH 284
Background : My IH CUT model 284 (purchased new in 1980) Has 3ph and a fel.

Has performed very well over the years but a couple of days ago no hydraulics front or back.( functioned the day before normally)

Hyd fluid level was way down --->filled reservoir still no hyd. Then changed to a new filter--> still no go. No discernible leaks noted.

I loosened a fitting near the control and got some fluid to seep out around said fitting(motor running)

Hyd pump ??? I don't know. Any help will be appreciated.

I would wonder if it has lost its prime. I don't know but I like to start with the easy and cheep things and see if they work. Ed

Just did a google search and I have this question. Is it an external pump? If so check to see if it gets hot when the tractor is running, excess heat would point to a prime issue. If it does be careful, you can overheat it and cause even more problems. Ed

Ed,

Many thanks to your prompt reply.
The pump is external. How dose one go about restoring lost prime?

Are there filters or screens inline?

A new filter was changed after problem showed up. (no help ) No screens mentioned in owners manual. Where are they usually located?
