Just got an H running after 30 years and took it down the road about 1 mile to the guy who gave it to me to see for the first time. When I got there we were looking it over and noticed the two hydraulic lines and the pump where very hot. Like too hot. I filled the reservoir with tractor fluid from Napa and cleaned everything out the best I could when I restored the tractor. I removed the cylinder the guy was using and am just recycling the oil through the pump and then back to the reservoir. Also, the other day when I fired it up it spewed about 1/8 quart of hydraulic oil out the vented cap on the hydraulic fill cap. Is there air in the reservoir or pump??? Why would that make the pump and hydraulic lines so hot. I'm afraid it will blow the lines running that hot. This hydraulic system was added back in the 1950's but was bought from the dealer. Is the hydraulic oil too thin??? Suppose there could be a little water in the system but can't be much. Thanks for the help.
