Hello fellow Tractor Enthusiasts!! Just this past summer I became the newest owner of a 1958 International 350U with the common Wagner front end loader and rear hydraulics. I had been looking for a IH Tractor for some time, I had owned a IH Scout before that and was sucked into a love for all things IH...
I found my machine on a local craigslist, for free no less, the PO had been using the loader when he broke a spindle. Instead of fixing it, he just let it sit for 2 years or so, then just gave up completely and offered it for free if I could move it. So I bolted up a new spindle, checked/freshened fluids, cleaned the points and drove it onto the trailer and dragged it home. Now that its here I (of course) have a ton of questions, most of which I have been able to find via the search but have hit a wall when it comes to working on my loader.
The problem I am having is a lack of pressure, all cylinders seem to move very slow, if at all. I know I have some bad fluid, when checked it is very milky and tan in color, so I assume that is the root cause, but I am unsure on the proper procedure to flush the existing fluid out while filling with new. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated. I have a lot in store for this awesome tractor, and hope to have it running and driving in time for a local vintage tractor parade and show in June...

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
