Well, I know that when most of you gentlemen talk tractors, you mean TRACTORS. But in my neck of the woods farms were seldom over a hundred/hundred fifty acres, many were fifty to a hundred. SO I grew up around smaller tractors. Our first tractor was a Case VA, it was OK but the lift was weak. Couple years later Dad bought a VAC which had a good hydraulic system and would pull pretty good.
I always liked the Massey-Harris numbered series, (22,33, & 44) Three of my neighbors bought new 22s at the same time and I put in a few hours seat time on one. Two plow, considerable better than an 8N, but their undoing was the frame. I remember crossing a terrace with one and noticing how the frame would flex. (and I was only 13 or 14 at the time), and we all know "the rest of the story", One of the men kept his and I asked a friend who lives in the old neighborhood what ever happened to it.He laughed and replied, "Last time I saw it, it was laying in a shed in two pieces!" Always heard MMs were good, but never were any around here. I realize I am talking history here, but I have kinda lost track of what's happening now in the tractor world, what with so many merging, etc. About the only thing in my neighborhood where I live now is mean and green. (with yeller wheels).

In the last entry to this series we gave a brief overview of hydraulic system theory, its basic components and how it works. Now lets take a look at some general maintenance tips that will keep our system operating to its fullest potential. The two biggest enemies to a hydraulic system are dirt and water.
