That's another nice thing about IH tractors.

They always will tell ya about this time of year that the hydraulic oil and filter needs to be changed. :>)

That squealing noise is coming from the filter bypass element.

Yeah, and that screen that fits into the filter may be plugged up. Clean it up with brake cleaner or something.

O'Reilly's has or can overnight the filters and they are cheaper. Wix brand. Unless your dealer is close. Csse # 388084R93 is Wix 51469. $21 at dealer & 17.89 at O's unless O's puts it on their farm acct and save you another 2 or 3 bucks.

Then overfill the transmission with 5 gal of hytran. If yours has the large bullplug to the left of the shifter, then yours is probably the same tranny as my 2606. Put a stick or tape going down to the bottom of the case. About 5 1/4" of fluid is where the normal fill level is. Pull your side plug to check it. Another 5 gal will bring the level up to about between 7 to 8". I just filled mine to the bottom of the center input shaft which was about 9" on the stick.(more than 5 gal over but I wanted to empty the bucket)

After 2 years, you need to change the engine oil. Order the Wix oil filter from O'Reilly's at the same time. Check your antifreeze now and maybe change.
