Farmtrac 535 Jerky Hydraulics

[Fireman_Mike]

I have a Farmtrac 535 that they hydraulics are jerky. I changed the fluid and filter ans cleaned the suction screen/filter by the left foot. It seemed to work better after changed and then I let it set for about a week and it's aherky again. I did not use it a lot after changing the fluid and filter.

Its prob been like that since new and changing the fluid and filter had a placebo effect on you.

Here is what the screen looked like when I pulled it

That's really dirty for hydraulics. Can you add a spin on filter in the system? Have you re checked the suction screen?

 

[Fireman_Mike]

That is the suction screen and it has a spin on already.

What was all that crud on the suction screen? From picture it almost looks like rag lint mixed with sludge. If yes you may need to clean and flush the system again and possibly a couple more times to get it cleaned up. Also need to determine what caused it to be so dirty and fix that problem also so it doesn’t repeat.

It did look like lint and sludge.
