Well gang, I went to look at the Hydro 86 today, The tractor runs like a brand new one, it was around 1 degree celcius today, its started up on the 3 turn and not one puff of blue or white smoke! So far I was amazed!! I let it warm up for a bit, checked for leaks, all looked real good. So off I went for a drive, started off in low range, Tractor took right off. So I figured I would put her right to the test. Slamed on the brakes, the tractor stopped, and the engine hardly died. DARNIT!!!!!!! well I knew it was to good to be true Same in reverse
BUT!!!
I noticed 3 things that is giving me hope.
1 no akward noises the trans is VERY SURPRIZINGLY quiet, no cavitation or ariation noise
2 parked on a bit of a grade in neutral the tractor does not drift what so ever and when u go from full forward to neutral the trans brakes thes tractor very firmly!!
3 He told me that the tractor has had all the pumps replaced. and evidence of this is very obvious because they were STUPID and used silicon instead of gaskets!! maybe there is some silicon plugging something???? He also said he had someone do some pressure tests and that the mechanic told him they were ok but i am not getting my hopes up
Soooo...... Well............. Ok I bought it. 3500 cash, delivered half way, and he threw in the 2 BRAND NEW NOT EVEN INSTALLED 15.5-38 Firestone tires! So I figure I sell the tires, and do some troubleshooting
So let the suggestions BEGIN!!!! Any suggestion will be used!!
What pressures should I be at? Relief Valves? Check Valves??

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
