Hi all...
I have a 1948 Super A that is mysteriously consuming hydraulic fluid?!
The tractor loses hydraulic fluid quite quickly. If I refill the reservoir-bleed the system-etc. I can operate the hydraulics with no problems for awhile. I don't notice any fluid coming out during operation. If I refill the reservoir and let the tractor sit I also don't notice any leaks. There seems to be a slight bit of weep at the base of the reservoir down below the drain plug. This is very light and I'm pretty certain has existed since I've owned the tractor.
Its my guess that the fluid has to be staying in the tractor but I don't know where?!
There are no major areas of fluid loss on the tractor.(a bit of weep/leakage around the oil pan is about it)
Has anyone encountered this or have any thoughts?
Could the fluid be ending up in the clutch housing tube or something....
