I have a 1720 ford diesel tractor with hydraulic lift problems ( it is a 3 point hitch lift on back of tractor ) . When I first crank the engine and raise lift handle, the lift will raise very slowly in fast jerking motions. It will lift this way for 10 to 15 minutes . Then it will quit lifting period but if I lift the handle and let it set for 4 to 6 minutes it will began to creep up in fast jerking motions. After I drop the lift it will not lift for another 4 to 6 minutes. We were trying to used a bush hog at the time
We have checked : The hydraulic Piston under the seat and the seals on the piston . It is full of hydraulic fluid . We can't see or feel any hot places on the hydraulic parts .
 
Find big line on side under step, There is a big bolt that holds line on. There is a round cover with 4 bolts. Put pan under and take strainer out. Its full of junk and wash. Put new oil in while at it cause it dirty with water mixed with it.
 
The 1720 uses an external spin on filter and does not have the screen you described that was used on the 10 series compact tractors.
