Hello community...I recently started diving into my new-to-me 1959 Farmall 560. I noticed last time I started it up to take it into my garage for the winter to work on it, give it a tune up...etc...that it started popping really loud up towards the front of the tractor like the engine was popping. Over and over again. And the hydraulics for the loader and the back scraper blade both lost a ton of power...and then all of a sudden would get it back. So I got the loader and the blade up enough long enough to get it inside. So...totally a new tractor owner and non-engine guy here talking...anyone have any ideas what I need to do? Why would it suddenly start doing this? It also died on a me a few times during the process as well.
I am also looking for a great instructional guide/video/internet/printed guide that would be good for a tuneup to be done? I would like to do an oil change, hydraulic fluid change, and tune up. But am not sure where to start and have never done it before.
I have only owned the tractor for a few months. it's my first one for my first acreage/land purchase of my life. So I love the old beast...I just need to learn how to use it and fix it.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
