IH 806 Hyd System Question

Hogfeeder · Jan 13, 2009

I have a '66 806 and the past 3 years, always about this time of year, in the cold, I lose all hydraulic function. I lose the steering, hydraulics, the PTO won't work, may engage, may not disengage. If I pull the dipstick, the hyd oil is white and frothy. Is this simply just an excessive amount of water in the oil, or is something else going on? I used the tractor all fall to haul in loads of corn, and the oil did not show any signs of water being in it. The tractor is lucky if it gets 50 hours put on it a year. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Drain the hyd . oil change the filter. Pull every drain plug ya can find under that tractor and let her drip dry . There are five plugs Then when ya go to refill her pull the fill plugs out of the axle housings and refill them as they have to be filled by them selfs They are located on the sides of each axle housing on the back side .
