After getting my 990 running and water weight in the tires for traction I actually like the old tractor except the hydraulic system is not live, but the diesel is what I wanted in the first place and the 50HP is okay.
Well, after putting 13 hours on the old tractor the hydraulic system is choosing to not work sometimes and it growls and then works sometimes. I parked it and after looking at it I decided that the pump is inside the transmission. So, the steering gerotor needs to come off and then the top of the transmission to get access to the pump inside the transmission after draining the lubricant that is sort of milky even though I replaced the lubricant and filter and both stick boots as I figured that they were leaking water inside the transmission when it rained outside(wish I had a roof). Can anyone steer me in the right direction as I am a decent mechanic? I don't think I have steered wrong so far. I figure that once I get the top off of the transmission I will discover a bit of corrosion from moisture that may have led to damage to the hydraukic pump gears and they will need replacing. Am I right? Help me out if you can?
