Mark, thanks for the reply. I think I may have found the problem. When I checked the service manual, it says that I should have 2300-2400 psi and the test lift should be at least 1250 lbs. It also shows that the system being overloaded is the most likely cause. Anyway, I pulled the top plate off the reservoir and the fluid is a nice yellow milky color. There are water bubbles on the components. So the oil got water in it somehow. I'll be draining the system, replacing some hoses while it is empty, cleaning the filter screen and refilling with some good ol' Hy-Tran. Then I'm going to find some more weights for the front ends and try to keep from blowing out that bad back tire. Golly gee willicker, I do love to mess around with this old junk. Ah, well, still cheaper than new stuff. By the way, the folks around here sell hay by the bale, but I can calculate tonnage, so I buy where I get the best deal. The farmer that I buy these monster bales from charges $40 a bale. If it weighs what I think it does, that is $40-55 per ton. I buy square bales from a rancher who makes a 70 lb average bale. A ton from him costs about $85 when I'm paying $3-3.50 a bale.
Some other folks around here charge the same for a 40-50 lb bale which puts the per ton price up around $110. I work hard for my money, I buy where I get value. Thanks again, Joe
