IH 340 u loader issues....still...

ACN · Nov 26, 2009

This 340 i recently purchased has an ih 2000 loader and with anything in the bucket it won't lift but maybe 6 inches... pulled the check plug on the trans and out came what looked like water/oil mix(cream colored)....could this be the root of the evil? thanks in advance

The bad oil will not help lift, but is not likely the root of the problem. First, if it has one way lift cylinders (no down pressure), make sure the hydraulic control valve for that motion is set to single acting (knob and roll pin on end of valve, if using the IH valves next to the seat. If these are part way between settings nothing works correctly. If the tractor has a fast hitch, make sure its valve is set to two way.
A pressure gauge reading to 2000 psi will tell you the real pressure it is making (should be between 1200 and 1500psi on a dead ended pressure hose.
The pressure relief valve could be stuck or with a broken spring. The pump may just be toast. A good hydraulics person will tell you in short order.
