Hey Guys,
I recently purchased a IH 574 diesel tractor and I took it out for her maiden voyage this past weekend. The tractor runs great except for a hydraulic leak.
This hydraulic leak only occurs when I have the tractor hooked up to something like my hydraulic dump trailer. The leak occurs when I'm bringing the dump trailer down and not up. The leak is coming from the back of the valve assembly. When I checked the transmission fluid dipstick it is overly full.
I was wondering if this is simply a matter of their being too much hydraulic fluid in the tractor or could it be a bigger problem?
The valve that I am talking about is best seen when the tractor seat is off. A few of the pictures are taken looking from the top down and looking towards the back of the tractor
Thanks in advance .
