New guy here, I can’t seem to find a part number for a new hydraulic filter for my 1973 or 74? Ford 5550 backhoe. The front bucket is not going up easy, even empty. I have to get the rpm’s up high to lift it, everything else works fine at idol speed. I’m thinking maybe a new hydraulic fluid filter will help? The fluid is a bit low according to the dip stick, I just a 5 gallon bucket of fluid at tractor supply but didn’t want to add it in until I figure out how to get a new filter in the event it spills out fluid during the swap. I think this pic of is the filter location? Is there any pressure on that housing with the tractor off?
Thanks!
Thanks!
