Dick: My opinion is you really have nothing wrong. Bob told you how to check that out, and you did. Nothing wrong!

Farmall 300 hydraulic systems run very hot. My experience is going to a new 300 in 1955. My dad, brothers and I had more burn marks on our skin than I care to remember. The system has a relatively small resovoir.

The IH dealer at the time helped our tractor a lot by installing extra resovoir. Tractor had a 33 loader, thus they installed a 5 gallon cylinder type resovoir across top on loader sub frame. They ran hoses from both drain and fill plug on 300 resovoir. The breather then must be removed from under hood and placed on top of add on resovoir. This extra resovoir also helped another problem, gave added hydraulic oil when using multipul cylinders. That added resovoir must be high enough so oil can flow to hydraulic system by graviety. The two hoses allow that oil to circulate much like thermosyphon.
