Thanks for the replies.This is what I did before any of the hydraulic issues... Before I started the wrecker, I took the drain plug out of it a little fluid/water came out of the tank. I then sprayed air into the tank a little more came out, but not much. The wrecker was owned by my buddy, he sold it to his dad.When his dad passed away I bought it from his mom. They run/ran a wrecker/bodyshop/wrenchshop. The son and dad have worked wreckers all of there lives. The son told me when I bought it he couldn't find any I.D tag on it. He thought it may be a Challenger. At least that is what I think he said. The wrecker has been taken care of, He or I never had any Hydaulic issues,until now. I looked at the pump today I found a flat spot under the grease, I then took a putty knife and scraped the grease off. I found a tag but the center area is rotted away. I could not see/read any thing. I did find some tags on the winches, but they had been painted over. I will have to be easy with them or I may lose any information that may be on them. The inlet /outlet on the canister head is 3/4 inch. A buddy of mine had an extra spin on filter head. It is used but in good shape. I took the head plus his old filter to a supply house. They sold me a Wix 51553 filter. I googled the filter and found out it was a 33 micron filter. I was going to flush the system with some 10 wht. oil, using his old filter. Then put the new filter on and new hydaulic fluid. I figured the new filter would have been smaller than 33 micron. Steve@advance...Do you still think that this should have a 10 micron filter? I'll try to check the wrecker I.D. a little better tomarrow. I am going to put this filter head on. I need to get the system flushed before we get freezing wheather again. Thanks for the replies,any other advice, given this new info? MTP...

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
