I did a post earlier about the noise in the hydraulics. Most responded by saying to change the filter and refill with fluid. I waited for the manuals to arrive before I changed the filter. I changed the filter and refilled with fluid. But I still have a lot of noise. I've found that if I let the tractor be on a fast idle before moving anything such as the steering or 3 pt hitch and wait for the system to build pressure the system is a little quieter. But when I bring the tractor to idle the excessive noise will appear again. Buy putting my hand on the line to the power steering from the left side of the tractor I can feel vibrations. Also the noise sounds like a bad bearing. Before I bought the tractor the owner and I run it in his field with a bush hog attached and he demonstrated the use of the 3 pt - raise and lower - feather and pto - all seem to work well. I talked with a person at the IH dealership and he said all those tractors would leak pressure down overnight. Any help would be appreciated - James
