I knew it had/has leaks when I bought it a week ago.
After my chores Today
Pressure washed, Added some fluid and ran the hydraulics.
Not as bad as I thought it might be. Have a few actuators to rebuild.
Both Steering actuators and the steering ends
Right Loader life cylinder seeps
2 out of 3 of the rear cylinders
Some hoses look old, but I will worry about those when they start leaking.
Need to replace the tie rod ends.
Greased - Looking at the manual, I missed a few but will go back. The ones I did grease did not take much. 1 would not take any. I'll replace the fitting.

After the above or maybe during depending on parts order and delivery. I plan on pulling the hubs to pack and check the bearings. Smaller, but my 56 Chevy is also king pins.

I'm not in a rush - I dont need it any time soon.

Anyone have any luck in clearing up a sun faded instrument panel plastic? It's just the plastic, think I can make one using plexiglass.

Hope you all are having a good weekend - Happy Mothers Day.
