At least this has been spread over many years but not that many hours....
The first time I lost hyd. the tractor was split and the rear pump was updated, but looked close to wear specs, several tubes had updates, the big leak was inside where a tube enters a block of some kind and the tech found it when replacing all of the O-rings when going back together. The tube had a hidden hole on it.
The second time was the front pump needed rebuilt. Not done that well as the other tech was drinking too much.
The third time the power steering column was leaking. It was FUBAR inside as it came apart and a pin scored the wall of the cylinder, to describe it best. The front pump was also rebuilt, better this time, and several check valves, etc. in the rear. That was $6,000 right there.
The engine dropped an o-ring at about 3,000 hours and put AF in the oil while running, and of course, the crankshaft had a crack in it when mag-checked.... Made it all like new again. That repair was also right at $6,000 many years ago.
I put new injectors in it a few years ago myself.
If it wasn't so handy on the shredder and doing some hay, and new ones so pricey, it would have found a new home long ago!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
