I have been fighting hydraulic problems with my tractor. I had major leaks from a couple fittings and a plugged strainer and filter. After repairing all the leaks and fitting I fired up the tractor and it worked perfectly for about an hour. Now the hydraulic pump makes a lot of whining noise when loading it. It goes up and down no problem until I try to load it. I can't lift my baler or cutter. I removed the filter and found the hydraulic suction strainer plugged with red debris and the new fluid has a red tint and was foamy. The fluid looks like it is taking the red color of the internals of the tractor on. Is there anything I need to do to decontaminate my system?
