Super C hydraulics

I have a '51 Super C. When it was my dad's he built a really nice 3 point for it. I have it now and it it basically to play around with. I noticed lately that when I hooked anything up to the hitch, the hydraulics would "jump" a bit. I drained the system and flushed the system according to the manual. It had milky foamy fluid, indicating moisture it, and filled and flushed with new fluid. It appears to run smoother and with less load on the engine. But when I move the right handle to the center position and leave it set, it will very slowly drift down. I set a finger behind the handle to feel how much pressure it was taking but it didn't feel like any. I am wondering if this is normal or if the o rings are starting to leak? Has anyone rebuilt it? I noticed a rebuild kit with gaskets and all of the o rings on ebay.

Thanks for any input

Are you saying the lever moves back on it's own? If so, there are "friction pads" that hold the levers in position... these may need to be adjusted or replaced.
 
Yes, the levers move back on their own. The left one is extremely stiff and wont hardly move without a great deal of force. I can try that but I was just concerned about the whole set up.

Thank you
 
just recently learned about three other screens..two in bottom of block and one under plug in cover by battery......if left one is stiff some thing is not correct.....dewy
