Forgot to ask, can you order parts directly from NH or would I have to go through a dealer for the ones I can't find online?

Other than yesterday's tractors, can you recommend any other parts website that might have hard to get parts? I can get most parts from yesterday's tractors, but those 2 parts I can't find anywhere. Everything you've read about the problems I'm having, do you think it would be worth checking out the unloader valve? I've just heard it's extremely hard to get to. I did want to clean the hydraulic sump and system, from what I've read i can pour a few gallons of diesel in the sump and let it cycle through the system. I just didn't want to damage anything and make sure i get all the diesel out. Which after I've drained my hydraulics, i still have some in the bottom of the sump, and other than wiping it up with a towel, wasn't real sure how to get it ALL out. Thanks for the reply BTW, I really appreciate it. I didn't realize how dependant I am on my tractor working until this week, so I'm doing my best to fix it. Does it sound like I'm on the right track?

You are obsessing on the wrong issues. A little diesel in the sump won't hurt anything at oil change.
Before I'd mine for gold on the unloaded.. I'd investigate other linkage and broke parts.
Might check arthurs tractors

On your first issue.....air in hydraulics........apply some sillicone around the larger dia pipe at the pump to help the o-ring sealing !

I appreciate the responses. I have a few parts soaking in diesel right now and other parts ordered. I'm not going to mess with the lift cylinder right now until I have it all back together, if it still doesn't work, then I'll look into the lift cylinder.

As far as installing the hydraulic pump repair kit, will I be needing any special tools? Are there any videos that describe the installation process just incase I get in over my head, actually I think I may already be.

I replaced quite a few parts with no improvement. I took the inspection cover off to see what's going on in there and it looks like someone has an airline blowing air into my reservoir at my return filter. So it's definitely air in the system, just not a clue where it's coming from. Installed a lifter cover repair kit, minus the cylinder gaskets as I have no clue how to install them. Fixed my control valve linkage and replaced a buster pressure tube. Maybe the pump is sucking air but it's not leaking there.
