IH 966 with Squealing Hydraulics

Posted by David Kendall on April 17, 2003 at 21:01:18 from (63.148.28.171):

Father-inlaw's tractor. Will be 87 years old. I have been helping with tractor since he is no longer able. He can still drive it though, and loves doing it. It's in his blood, and I think it gives him something to look forward to and keeps him going, if you know what I mean. The tractor is of '76 vintage with less than 2000 original hours. The last couple of years it has developed a very loud squeal when you use the hydraulic levers. Not the three point lift. Also, the steering is very slow to respond, and has a jerking response when turning the steering. Maybe the hydraulic pump going out, but that's only a guess on my part. If anyone into the RED tractors has any thoughs or comments, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, David Kendall
