350 leaking mysterious fluid

Posted by picasso on July 07, 2003 at 15:24:59 from (65.237.15.175):

I've got a 350 farmall that i've had for a few years, it has a schwartz loader on it and power steering. After I would use the tractor a while the loader would quit working and so would the power steering. When the tractor cooled then the loader would work for a while again. Also as time went on, the loader quit lifting as high and before I knew it, it would only lift a foot off of the ground. I also noticed that the hydraulic fluid for the loader was milky, so I drained all the fluid and filled it with new fluid. the loader wouldn't work at all, but when I ran the tractor, a pinkish fluid would drip from the belly of the tractor near thr torque amp. area. After removing a small cover in this area near the torque about a quart of this pinkish fluid ran out and then the loader worked fine, but when I run the tractor more fluid runs out. The torque is out in this tractor, but was that way when I bought it, I've just been using it in high range. I hope that i've given enough info for you to help me because I really enjoy using this tractor but am afraid of wrecking something by running it this way. thank you very much for any help.
