Oliver 1365 Hydraulic problems

[Ficks from Indiana]

This post is actually a reply to so
something I posted back in March of 2021 on slow hydraulics on my Oliver 1365. Still having problems.

Well, worked on this off and on but to no avail. Havent really needed 3 point but I brought it into shop yesterday drain all the hydraulic oil, cleaned it all it with diesel fuel and put new hydraulic oil back in. Same thing happening. Slow to raise and somewhat hesitant. When cleaning out with diesel fuel I did operate the 3 point and it worked perfectly fine but when I dumped it out and put new oil in back to the same thing.
I may try a new pump this winter. Just not sure whats next. None of the other parts have ever been taken apart.

I had to put a new pump on mine a few years back. It would work cold, but moving round bales off the field, it would lift for maybe 15-20 bales then get to where it wouldn't lift at all.

Thanks. That may be the answer. I dont think they are overly expensive.

No, they're not. I'm thinking it was 2017 when I replaced mine. At that time, I got the pump, drive hub, o rings and gasket for less than $200.
