JD 300B Hydraulics

[malexism]

Have a jd 300b backhoe,and my problem is,hydraulics come and goes, sometimes when using the front loader, I loose all hydraulic power until I shift to neutral an pull clutch out. Please help, this is upsetting.Hydraulic oil gets milky white.

You need to determine if the "milky white" Hydraulic oil is from air mixing in or water contamination . Draw a sample and let it set. If it's air it will settle as the air disapates. Water may settle to the bottom or may not if the oil will keep it suspended. Heat something metal (old spoon will work) and drop a sample on it. Nothing or smoke = no water. Sizzles = water.

Once this is determined you can proceed.

I have a JD 301a which is very similar, have you checked the screen and filter? Also while the tractor is running open the fill cap and look in the tank with a flashlight. If there is a mist a line or seal gave out. It could also be 1 of the pumps has gone out if it is air. Hopefully it is something cheap and simple though.
