My 555C has been working fine then one day the how got really slow and the levers got stiff. I changed the hydraulic filter and it ran fine for about 30min and then the same thing. I cut the old filter open and found it choked with lots of brass so I put a new pump on it and flushed the tank and tank filter and pump hoses. Ran fine for about Ann hour then did the same thing..changed the filter again and it ran fine for 30min and the same thing...mostly fine brass in filter..no hose parts...any ideas on what is going on? Filters are hard to get and cost plenty.
 
I hope it's not like my neigbor's Case he got shavings all up it the cylinders too. Had to disassemble and clean the rams and all the hoses.
