I have a problem with the hydraulics operating the loader on my tractor. The engine also sounds labored until I actuate the loader or 3 point. When I activate the hydraulics, the engine sounds as if it "eases" up. The loader does not have a lot of power, I have to "rev" up the motor to lift. The oil gets so hot that it discolored the pump on the rear of the tractor. I looked at the oil as it pumps, it foams up radically.
I also have a problem with my PTO, it stays engaged constantly, I can't turn it off.
Please help if you have any suggestions, I have taken part of the valves apart under the seat, but failed to find anything wrong.
