Scenerio:
This is my father in law's Farmall 130, he is ill so I know little about this tractor. I have never worked on an old tractor before and I thought it would be fun to get it up and running. All I know is the hyraulics haven't worked for years (maybe as long as 10) and the tractor hasn't been started in 3 or 4 years. New battery and the tractor started right up. Figured I'd check all the fluids and start changing them since I know my father in law hasn't been maintaining it and god only knows how long its been. Oil level was high and very black, didnt think much of it other then it needed to be changed and figure he had added to much oil at some point. Then I checked the hydraulic fluid and quickly figured out why the hydraulics didn't work, it was bone dry. I added one gallon of hy-tran which filled it, used the hydraulics alittle and then checked the fluid level again. Now it is low and could use maybe 2 quarts. It is only supposed to hold 8 1/4 pints. Now I understand why the oil level is so high!

Questions:
Hydr pump needs new seals, correct?
Is it easy to replace the seals, and what else will I need (ie any gaskets)?
What is the proceedure?
How long will it take?
How bad is it for the engine to have been running with hydraulic fluid mixed in the oil as this was probably occuring for years?
Can I still run it if I drain the hydraulic system and change the oil and only use it for pulling until I have a chance to fix the seals?
Anything else I need to know?

Sorry for the long post, but I'm a newbie.
