I have a 1975 ford 7500 backhoe. Just pulled the hydraulic filter because hydraulics aren't working. Filter held oil even when removed from housing so I am sure it needs replaced.
The question is what should the fluid look like?
Appearance is milky yellow. First thought was it has water in it but I let the tractor sit a week and there doesn't appear to be any oil/water separation in the hydraulic tank.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
