I have a 1964 Farmall 806 with an S-Y suffix on the serial number and 2 remotes. It is supposedly making 105 horsepower with the original R-D pump on it. I can believe that, as it's a great tractor with lots of black smoke! I am having trouble with the hydraulic system and 2-point hitch. Whenever I turn a sharp corner, the OIL light comes on. When the steering hits the end of its travel, the tractor coasts to a stop. After about a second or two, it will violently jerk the tractor back into motion. If you pull the TA back, it takes a sharper turn to make it occur. Also, if you hit the brakes while turning the steering wheel, the OIL light will flash on. Almost instantaneously, the brakes will move to the floorboard and then come back when you stop steering. The steering is also a little weak, as the hand pump slips over if you try to steer the wheels while standing still. The steering gets better as you increase rpm. Another problem is that when the tractor(as well as the hydraulic fluid) gets warm, the OIL light kicks in at idle and won"t go off unless you increase throttle about 100 or 200 rpm. The last problem involves the 2-point hitch. With the tractor running at any rpm, you can walk up behind the tractor and lift the 2 point hitch up to the extent of its travel BY HAND! It has no downpressure at all, and I don"t think that is normal. To give you guys more information, the hydraulic oil and filters have gotten changed every year since we owned it(about 9 years). I drained it out of the rear end, both axle housings, the transmission, and the TA housing. Any info you guys can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!
