Hydraulic problems 6340

[cowheardboy]

I am have trouble with my 3 point hitch and my hydraulics I changed the fluid cause it had water in it But I think they had gear oil in it Is that possible I but regular hydraulic fluid back in I changed the filter and cleaned the magnetic screen It had some metal shavings and even a few metal chunks in it Went and plowed for about 6 hours then hooked my disk up after about 2 hours the hydraulics stopped lifting the disk Then the next day I hooked the plow back up and the 3 point hitch it lifts but not all the way Do you think I should put gear oil back in it?

You need either gear oil 80w/90 or 10w/30 or 15w/30 STOU universal oil in the rear end. hydraulic fluid doesnt lubricate the gears, and gear oil cant handle hydraulic heat in hot summer weather. I allways use STOU.

Most likely your suction tube is picking up air through the braided hose connectors between the pipes.
