I'm the proud owner of a 1961 (if I read the Ser. No. right) 560-gas. It has an IH 2000 loader. The tractor doesn't have one leak from it.
However, the loader is so slow, a little amount of noise but not alarming. If I'm lifting the boom and try and dump the bucket, the arms drop somewhat rapidly. I have to operate one function at a time, and again, slow!
Hydraulic filter (presumably all fluid as well) for for sure the past owner said 8 years ago. Seals around the PTO needed replacing then as well.
4800 hours on the tractor and seems to be working tach.
1. Can I change the hydraulic filter w/out draining all 16 (or so) gallons of fluid?
2. I'm guessing there'll be some milkiness to the fluid so should I change all of it anyway?
3. If all that doesn't change the speed of the loader and allow me to move bucket and boom at the same time, should I consider a 17 GPM pump with an extended wider filter kit?
I have a couple more questions I'll hold off on as this is step one

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
