Loader has its own fluid reservoir - separate from the PTO. What type of fluid? Probably standard hydraulic fluid but is that power steering fluid, heavy oil, etc? I have removed the gas tank and cleaned out the tank and bulb before - crud in the line was stalling it. I didn't, however, clean out the screen going into the carbuoretor. I will do that tomorrow. I did fix the biggest of the power problem. Pulled off spark plug wires looking for one with no impact. Two cylinders not firing. I replaced the plugs and the wires and it ran very nicely. The plugs were all black and two of them smelled noticably of gas. Do I need to worry about some other problem causing the plug fouling? (I went all over town looking for a 7/8 sparkplug socket - they must not exist. Ended up with a deep well socket that worked fine.) I expect I will change the points, condenser, and distributor cap just so it is all new. Coil looks fine and seems to have good spark. Out to bushhog the field tomorrow. Drought here (Lynchburg, VA) so only the weeds have grown. If we don't get some rain soon we may have dry wells abounding. Thanks for the help.
