I am new to posting on forums and have never posted on this one, have read several posts in the archives. This is a rather lengthy description but I want to give all the info I can. I have never done any hydraulic work and am not sure where the issue lies with this tractor. I have the shop manuals coming in the mail but thought I would ask for advice before hand. I got this tractor earlier this year to use for square baling hay, loader work, etc. It is a 1979 year, with a 2250 loader. Everything seems to work good on the tractor, loader will lift quite a bit no problem there, power steering seem to work well, brake fell good, parking brake don�t work. Well here are the issues. We were baling hay about a week ago, the first time out for us using the tractor, and after the first 100 bales I started having trouble with the pto, it was wanting to just stop. I still had the loader on the tractor and while running it wants to creep down, not much just say 2 or 3 inches every10 minutes or so. Well while I was baling I hit the loader leaver to raise it a little and the pto stopped and did not want to come back on. I stopped the tractor and speed up the the engine a little and it came back on. I also noticed that while turning the pto wanted to stop but when I turned back straight it came back on. This happened a couple of times, then I hit the loader leaver another time and it stopped again and did not come back on. I could hold up the auxiliary hyd leaver, ( nothing was hook up to it), till it squealed like they do with nothing hooked up, and the pto would come on and when I let off it would quit. I could do the same thing with the bucket lever hold it hard over and it would work let off and it would stop. Well we drove it on home and I noticed that the power steering wasn�t working either. I could hold the bucket lever hard over and I could steer let off and it would quit. Also it was pretty warm out 88 or so, and the outside of the loader valve was pretty warm, could barely hold my hand on it, and the sides of the transmission that are between your feet were just as hot, but pull the dip stick and the hyd oil was just warm about air temp? not hot at all. Well the next day I changed the rear end oil and the filter, well here was A BIG aggravation, I took off the filter cover and the filter was just sitting loose in the housing, the screen and valve deal that sits in the one end of the hyd filter element was missing! How do you lose that?! So the filter was doing nothing. The local I.H. dealer actually had one $70.00! Any way got it all back together and went to bale some more a couple days later and I was still wanting to act up maybe not quite as bad but we did not bale quite as much, it was still slowing down and wanting to stop while I was turning. I know this is long but I wanted to describe my problem as best I could.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
