I have a 1954 TO-30 that I just got running. The lift arms will not move and the hydraulic fluid looks like...... a milk shake. I plan on running, without load to warm the milk shake oil and then draining it. I will then put in some cheaper oil with sea foam and run without load again and drain. I will then put in GL-1 90 mineral gear oil. The top link spring is loose enough that I am able to spin it. I was wondering what maintenance I should perform while the rear end is empty. I already know of the PTO oil seal. I will inspect the lift arm control linkage after opening but that is all I am aware of. I know that there are o-rings in the hydraulic pump but with the lift arms not even lifting I don't suspect that to be the problem. I wish to get this tractor operational for this summer and plan on a tear down, repair, and paint job this coming winter. Any transmission/hydraulic internal maintenance/repair suggestions would be very much appreciated.
