I am attempting to help out a neighbor with a IMT 560 Deluxe.He had placed this tractor in storage for about 5-6 years.When he pulled it out last fall he found he had bad oil leak in the control box for the Massey 236 front end loader.He had that repaired and then attempted to move some round bales of hay.The tractor worked fine for 3-4 bales of hay and then it started to sag when the started to lift a bale and it would require him to race the engine to pick it up.Shortly after it would not pick up the bale at all.The lift will raise without any weight. I attempted to do some research with this forum and found a post regarding the same issue.Within that topic I saw where the type of oil used could make a difference.The fellow that responded to the poster stated that since this was an older tractor he should use 80/90 GL-5 oil in that tractor.The fellow I am attempting to help is an oldtimer and he wants to sell this tractor.He does not want the put alot of money in it just to sell it.I can understand his concerns.When he had the leaks repaired,the fellow who did the work most likely did not use the older type of oil.Could this be the cause off these issues?Or is there something else I can look at that would cause this problem. Any guess's as to the value of this machine? It appears to be in good condition other than this issue.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
