Big 400 hydraulic problems

My 400 has weak hydraulics, I swapped the pump/valves with my 800 and still has weak hydraulics, is it possible an internal line has a pin hole or something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks
 
There are a lot of variables with this issue. I would start with checking the working pressure of the pump . There is an 1/8 pipe plug next to the hyd levers where you can hook up a 4501-AA Case Pressure Gauge .or similar gauge 2000psi.With fluid warmed to to95 to 115 degrees and PTO turning at 250 RPM. Move the outer hyd handle control lever SLOWLEY forward to the retained position. It should read between 1175 and 1225 PSI That is where I would start. I would not discount the fact that you could have Two weak pumps. Keep us informed.
