Paul: As Andy pointed out and I should have worded it differently, " Put every cylinder through the complete lenght of it's stroke about a dozen times." Ocasionally air can be a bit stubborn.

One problem common to that era of IH tractors was resovoir too small. If you find the loader getting jerky at or near full height, it is from lack of hydraulic oil. That lack of hydraulic oil also introduces air to the system each time that jerkiness happens. Most IH tractors of that era needed additional resovoir to operate a loader with hydraulic bucket. We had a Farmall 300 at home and added a 3 gallon resovoir. That more than doubles oil supply and makes system run much cooler and smoother. All you need is a tank that can run graviety into tractor hydraulic system, via pipe or hose. Your fill cap and breather then must be moved to top of added resovoir. I would only look at doing this if air seems to be a real niusance in the system.
