Wow you guys are awesome. I'm gonna answer a few questions that were asked and ask a few more... I'm happy for any wisdom at all.
The leak i was referring to is one of the hydraulic cylinders for the loader arms. Loader works, it just drips a bit. I'm hoping that's a straight forward seals and wiper type thing.
I need to diagram out the hydraulics (and the electrical for that matter) . It seems like everything is running off that PTO pump.
No power steering.
None of the gauges are hooked up
Tires are holding air. We've got a couple shops locally that do this sort of thing, so, i'm happy leaving that to the pros.
Can we talk about this oil filled air filter thing?! I've never heard of anything like this. I bought the tractor with the air filter off. I surprised as heck when i took it apart and found it packed with this steel wool type thing and stuffed. I filled it with degreaser and soaked over night, then sprayed with brake cleaner. It seems to be fairly free breathing now. Do we all still run these? Or should i figure out how to swap this for a pleated paper filter?
Chains went on yesterday. I did the best i could with 2 hands, seems to me with 4-6 hands you could probably get them tighter. But ladder chains over ag tires seems tricky. Huge improvement though. It did just fine without them except for the ice on the drive, which it now just purrs over.
I did a quick forum search and i have come across some different answers. The lube chart for this tractor suggests getting hydraulic fluid from the dealer. People seem to say that Hy-tran is the thing to use. I've got some AW32 on hand. Given i've got a leak, i'm sorta inclined to just keep her topped off with that and do a fluid swap on a warm day after i've repaired the hydraulic cylinder seals.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
