CNKS: I think I missed something in this discussion. I see James is telling me now he gets no reaction when moving the levers. Fortunately I've never had one of these apart, and I knock on wood for that one. You are probably correct on the need for a kit. I have seen these loose hydraulic function, for lack of oil, but that will occur long before it gets hot and will not cause the unit to leak anywhere. I had a neighbor call one day, his pump was hot, no hydraulic function and the cause, the cylinder type screen on the side of the touch control unit was plugged. He did get by cleaning up the screen that day but told me later he had to replace the pump shortly after. These tractors with touch control and indeed all the Farmalls with live hydraulics, before the days of using transmission as resovoir just never had enough resovoir to do the job intended in my opinion. First problem is if they developed an unnoticed internal leak during the work day they could quite easily pump the system dry. Secondly because system was so small any dirt in there was kept stired up by turbulance. And finally, some of the hydraulic systems I used later in my farming days, proved in my mind the very best way to keep a hydraulic system heat down, was lots of resovoir. I know I'm talking about much larger systems, but IH just were a bit too stingy on hydraulic resovoir. I guess the McCormick's were Scotsmen as well.
