If you follow the link below, you'll find a picture of a 300U with original paint; basically, they were all red with silver wheel rims.

On the hydraulics, if it's making noise but still seems to be working OK, you've probably got a suction problem. First check the oil level - dip stick is in the fill plug at the front of the reservoir under the seat. If that looks OK, and you don't find any loose connections anywhere, you should seriously consider checking the suction screen inside the reservoir - these tend to get plugged and/or collapse. If you go that route be sure to lift the reservoir top STRAIGHT up when you take it apart or you'll destroy the screen in the process - best to have some help for that job since the lid is heavy and ackward. It's best not to let this noise continue - cavitation wrecks pumps and they're expensive.

On the PTO, if the handle is on the right, you have the live (or "independent") PTO. From what you're describing, I'd guess your tractor's serial number is 22895 or below, and the PTO "seasonal disconnect" under the transmission is in the disconnect position.

It would be a good idea to get some manuals from Binder Books for your tractor. The Operators Manual is a must (IMHO), and both the Service and Parts Manuals are very much worth having, especially if you plan to maintain the tractor yourself.

Good luck!
