Remember you're talking about a 50-year-old (on average) tractor that was designed for 1500PSI hydraulics originally. All the hydraulic lines and valves on that tractor are original and have 50 years of fatigue on them. Plus, replacements are difficult to come by when you do blow something.
I'll second what he said... the pump may only be designed for 1500psi. The rest of the system is probably not a problem, but the pump could be. I don't know for sure if we (Cessna) built the pump in the 560... we did for at least some 460s, so I'd bet we did also for the 560. At the time we built those pumps, we "under-rated" them, or tested them at a higher pressure, but since they are probably hard to find these days (Eaton, who bought Cessna, does a very poor job of supporting older components), why take a chance. Another 250 psi might not be enough anyway, and I surely wouldn't go more than that. I know there were two sizes of pumps made for them, but don't recall the displacement. I would also recommend a larger diameter cylinder. I had a friend that bought a really heavy Wilbeck offset disc that his 4640 JD would not lift until I found some NOS parts to build him a 5" limit stop cylinder. We only made a few of those cylinders, but luckily still had parts to build at least one more.
Might also be a good idea to recheck the pressure to be sure it's still high enough and also check it hot to be sure it isn't lower then.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
