After had my John Deere 2010 sitting for the summer I started it again some days ago and notice a considerable loss in the hydraulic power.
The power steering (i did not earlier realize I had it) is nearly gone, the loader barely lifts by its own weight and the 3 point is not doing much better.
In spring everything was fine. There is a noticeable rattle when I try to use the hydraulics, like the pump is "fighting".
I checked the hydraulic oil level, its fine, but the oil is not absolutely clear, it shows some white granular flakes.
Any ideas or suggestions what might be wrong and what to check next? Where may the rattle come from?
I read already that draining all oil and cleaning the filter might be necessary. Where would I be able to get a new filter in case it would be beyond cleaning?
Any help is appreciated.
