Farmall 460/560 Hydraulic Oil Change, what to, and not to do!

First time changing the Farmall 460 hydraulic oil on the 4W Ranch! Currently this is our biggest Tractor assigned all the work. 65hp is about all we need for now, and this is just one of the many things we need to do to it to get him back in shape. Thanks for watching! Feel free to insult me in the comments, or offer guidance as most of the folks who worked on these back in the day are dead or dying. Additionally I am as mechanically inclined as a rock.

I'm glad your video popped up. I picked up a 1959 560 diesel that had neglectful owners. I just picked up a hydraulic filter and some pails of Hy-Tran. I did fuel filters when first picked it up. One filter was missing and the other was very old. When I change the hydraulic filter it wouldn't suprise me to find that it's missing too

These things are built like tanks, Its amazing what they will work like once they get a little TLC.

@John-ze3vo The book recommends hy-Tran. But it’s expensive and in my experience with old tractors that leak, too thin. I use UDT, available at any farm store - 9 gallons, and the filter I got was from Steiner tractor.

How much n what kind of hydrolic oil is that ? Where can a guy get the filter also ?

After you drained everything how did you bleed the air out after filling it back up. I have a 460 and changed hydraulic oil and not it seems like it's got air stuck.

[@traviswheat]

I didn’t see a procedure about bleeding air since it’s an oil bath system. It seems it would purge on its own out of necessity. Could be a downstream issue, like the mesh in the valves under the instruments.

@traviswheat I think I've got it, the high flow mesh on the filter was very clogged. But now that it's cold out I can't get it to run correctly. I've cleaned carburetor and the distributor cap thinking maybe it was a bad spark, every time I start it it backfires through exhaust and dies. I've read some people's posts on forums saying it could be a stuck valve or if it gets warm enough it will run fine
