Well here is my two cents worth on this subject , first off ya don't have enough air pressure in the rears bring them up to 16-18 and on the ft. if the ft weights are on it as a ft assist with out the weight does not do much good they need more air then ya have . Now with what little experence i have with this we went thru this way back many years ago with a ft assist oliver . The tire sizes must be the same size as what it came from the factory and ya have to watch when changing brands as to the tire hight . If lets say that you change ft tires and the brand that yyou replaced with is a taller one then the last set were even though they may say the same size on the side wall and inch can make a huge difference and you can get a drive line bind up and it will hop . Just about like the old 4x4 pick up with the 4.10 rear axel and the 4.09 ft not much difference in the gear but on a dry hard dirt road or like in the winter your on ice and snow then dry roads that drive line would get real tight real fast and when ya hit a slick spot you could feel it unwind OR if ya tryed to take them out of four wheel drive you could not move the shifter until ya either backed up to take the stress off the drive line or ya got it into something soft or slick. If you continued to drive on a hard surface it would hop to relieve the stress or it would break something. SO this is a few things to check and as far as running fluid in the rears it is done around here and and i know that Firestone did a lot of testing on this when they brought out the radial as the Ag test center is not far from me I use to have a couple friends that worked there.
