I have a 1958 Ford 660 tractor with a problem of slow hydraulics on the front end loader. The bucket is really slow raising and leaks down as well will not hold the load up. When I first bought the tractor I was a little slow, but has gotten steadily worse over the last few years.
It does not leak any fluids out onto the ground though. so the leak is internal. It has only 1 hose per cylinder so it is power up and gravity down, What do you guys think is the problem? I'm thinking the control valve is leaking both loosing hydraulic pressure making it slow and the leak down. Could it be the pump? The pump is mounted on the end of the front crank shaft. So I would say this is an aftermarket loader. The 3 point is also somewhat slow, but not like the loader. What should I do first?
