I recently bought an international 140(yellow). Engine seems strong enough, but the hydraulics are compromised. It has a funky three point added to it. I"ve mounted a piece of diamond bar with 2 c shank track scratchers to it. It will put it down all day, but needs my help lifting it up at the end of a bed. I new for sure that I needed to change the engine oil, and it does seem that the two problems could have had at least something to do with one another.
I changed the engine oil and filter element last night. The oil was super black, and the element pretty damn old. The guy I bought it from was obviously not into maintenance. He stated that when he used to use it, he"d bring hydraulic fluid out with him into the field, and have to fill back up every couple of hours or so. I had the leak fixed below the filler hole, but that hasn"t helped.
Since I"ve changed the engine oil, now the front lift won"t go up or down at all, unless I stand on it, and the rear, if I physically pick it up, will slowly lower itself down. The rockshafts just basically rock. They try wimpily to move and then stop, then try again, and then stop.
After running the tractor in the field for 15 minutes, the hydraulic pump is warmer than the oil filter casing. Is that normal, or a good sign that my pump is fried? How can I test if the pump needs replacement or if something else is happening.
