IH 504 Hydraulic Problems

Keith R E · Dec 29, 2012

I have a 1966 model 504 that I just love to use here in Ontario Canada. Its very cold and yesterday when I fired it up I heard a loud "pop" under the seat. The hyd. piping that runs under the seat split wide open. Upon ivestigation I noticed the pipe was full of ice which caused the split. Question is this a return line or hi psi ? The pipe has been brazed a couple times before me. How would water get into that line and into the tank area under the seat?
Thanks

I suspect the Hytran is overloaded with water, if its not a good dark caramel color it should be dropped & refilled with new. It gets in entirely by heating & cooling of atmosphere, IH advised changing Hytran yearly to flush system. I have seen inside a tractor in winter & just completely covered with frost.
