I tried to use my Ford 9N and the front bucket went up to its highest reach (10 feet). It would not come down manually. I shut it off and watched as it slowly lowered on it's own.
I changed the fluid and rinsed out the pump with diesel, pulling the 3 plugs underneath. The old fluid was pretty foamy. I had changed the fluid 3 years ago. The last time I changed the fluid I used the recommended Mineral oil for Fords. However this time the parts house said they had a new hydraulic oil I could use. It was Carquest 303 tractor fluid. The lady pointed out that it said "for Ford Tractors" on the 5 gal can. I took it home and poured it in. It seemed kind of light for hydraulic oil.
Well, now my bucket won't life and the rear 3 point hitch won't raise or lower. I hear the pump make that noise when I let the clutch out when everything worked and the bucket or rear hitch would raise. I can hear that noise now, but , nothing happens.
I noticed when I started it the first time the bucket raised all the way up, that there was a noise that sounds like a "shush-shush" coming from the vicinity of the water pump. The coolant level was good. I put the water pump on 3 years ago when I replaced the hydraulic oil. The noise sounded as if the water pump was going out.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
