Well I am looking at this farmall 856 the guy wants bottom dollar $6,000.00 for the machine..Here is the deal he said the Hydrolics is slow on the tractor and he thinks it could possibly be a filter. He says that you have to open the throtle some what about half way to build up hydrolic pressure. Could this be something serious or expensive to fix? He say the hour meter shows 2400 hours on it. Forgot to ask if the hour-meter was working or not.
Any way what do you al think? Any help on this would be appricated...
thanks

I doubt that it only has 2400 hrs. But what ever . i look at things like how much slop is on the clutch pedal and brake pedals how wobbly is the seat supenshion . How are the tires and sheet metal , cond. of the paint does all the lites work does it shift easy does the T/A work . Best way to check this is get it out on the road in high 4th wide open throttel and ride the brakes to load it down till it gets down to around 14-1600 RPM and pull the stick back but have your foot on the clutch as it just may stop dear in her tracks . As far as replacing the Hyd.pump that is a easy job once ya have the hyd. oil drained the pump is in the rearend housing on the lower left in front of the axel on the bottom and a hand full of bolts and it is off and out four more bolts and it is off the mounting plate a gskt and a couple o/ring and back on . 6 grand would be a fair price if it checks out . But if it has problems then that could be 4 grand tomuch . would be in your best intrest to take a good I H mechanic with ya and have him check it over and even if ya gave him a 100 buck it could be the best 100 buck ever spent.

I wouldn't take 2400 hrs to the bank, it could have had the tack changed or it might not work. It does sound like the pump is getting tired, not likely with only 2400 hrs, it could be the filter, but if it was my tractor and I was wanting to sell it I would have already changed the filter. That is a 15 minute job. The price doesn't sound bad if the rest of the tractor is good, they are a good tractor 90 some hp.

Don't sound like too bad a price for that size of tractor. A new hydraulic pump is gonna run three hundred and some.
