IH 1456

(quoted from post at 04:18:02 12/21/18) Like everyone said add more . Now i work on I H tractors and have been doing so for over thirty years . When i have had the tractors split for usually a T/A i have always installed that O/Ring an well did it always fix the problem NO plus the fact that if you have never split a large frame I H you would see first hand that really there is no way they will suck air as tight as that gskt seals . Now what you may find is a crack on the pick up tube where the holding bracket is welded to the tube . So to have a look see ya need to pull the rock shaft housing to gain access . But the over fill of five extra gallons will cover the pick up tube as long as the tractor is setting level or with the nose in the air a bit , nose down and the oil level may drop enough that the tube top side is exposed . I am sure that you replaced the MCV pump while you were tryen to fix this . If not stuff a new pump on it and always keep a good filter in it , rule of thumb is change the hyd filter with each engine oil change . Condensation will build during weather and temp changes and the filter will try and clean out the moisture , once it is plugged then the bypass valve opens and in warm weather it will suck on thru and give you milky looking oil , so we all know that it won't get any better till you change out all the hyd fluid and filter , now if you are thinking this is the total cure all , Nope as you still have contaminated oil that did not drain out just by pulling the plugs and letting it dri dry , nope ain't ah going to happen To get it really cleaned up it will take a few more filter changes and the idea of ok i put two filters in i am good to go, Nope may take several more . Then you let the tractor set for and extended time frame and your back to square one . The starting and run for a few min. and not getting everything up to operating temp will not COOK the moisture out it just mixes it back into the oil . If your going to let it set like from fl to late spring you will be amassed at how much condensation build up you will have . I do this with mine when they set , before start up coming out of winter sleep before i park my donkey in the seat i take my breaker bar and the 3/8th and 1/2 inch drain plug sockets down under and crack ALL the drain plugs and let them DRIP . One year when we had fluctuating air temps all winter long with the tractor setting up on the barn floor of a old wooden bank barn i drained about SIX gallon of water out of all the drain plugs . Now how bad would six gallon of water mess up 18 gallons of HY tran and how fast would that plug the filter.
