Ford 2600 No Hydraulic Pressure

The hydraulics on this tractor have been a persistent problem. I've got enough projects at the moment but I was able to take some time to fix this tractor. The leaking fluid that you see at the pressure valve was from my attempts at bleeding the system before I realized how to fix the tractor. The system was able to bleed itself. I am posting this video because while it seems simple, this repair could save ford 2600 owners substantial shop hour fees.

Glad you passed on this information.. I messed up awhile back thinking the front and rear were the same. The hyd rear end section is 6 gallons hyd oil and the transmission section is 5 gallons....both sections have a plug on the side to tell fluid level.... Sadly no outside dip stick and no outside filters....Hate that part

Thanks for the feedback. It'll help somebody.

I've got a 2600 and ran into the same issue, Until we realized that there were two holding tanks for the fluid. My 2600 doesn't have a bucket on it like that one. How does it attach?

I think its bolted on underneath. It was on the tractor when purchased and hasnt been removed.
