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.
