Today's update: Well...I don't suppose that the pump is bad, 'cause just out of the blue, the tractor lifted the tiller today when I went to move it! I took off the filter- and there was indeed evidence of metalic crud in there- which I suppose is the remains of the parking brake. Drained the hydraulic fluid (found some nasty metalic pieces in the concave area of the drain plug) and the fluid was pretty nasty- quite dark with some foamy areas. My plan is to strain the nasty fluid and install a new filter...run it for a few hours like that (my neighbor has a field that needs discing...perfect opportunity!) and then drain and discard the fluid and change the filter again and add brand new fluid. Does that sound like a plan? Or is there a better way to clean it out? Also, am I correct in assuming that this tractor takes the Universal Hydraulic fluid? I have a feeling if I can get this cleaned out a bit...all will be well. My neighbor suggested blowing compressed air through where the dipstick goes, to force any stuck crud out. Whatcha think? I have a feeling this filter is clogged. It is surprisingly heavey! The screen was pretty clean though. Any more info greatly appreciated.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
