Of course, check the hydraulic oil level first. But if the system has been working all along, it"s likely that something has happened within the system. Sure, it"s interesting to know that mechanically it"s a relatively simple system, but where does that get you? Troubleshooting takes some knowledge of how it works. The best thing you can do is to find an IH Blue Ribbon Manual GSS-1278 . . . they"re available on eBay all the time.
I"d begin by checking the system filter screen to see if it is clogged. It"s on the right side of the tractor under a plate attached by 4 bolts. Next I"d go to the Oldoakfarmalls.com site,and read the excellent article on hydraulics. It"s about a 460, but the system is the same as on the 240. There"s a screen and orifice within the pressure regulator, and you may have contination and blockage there. But before I began tearing the hydraulic valves apart, I"d make sure I had GSS-1278 to know what I was dealing with.
