MF 135 hydraulics

[porthlow]

I have a c1967 Massey Ferguson 135 chassis number 16752

The hydraulics for the three point linkage work but have become very weak in its lifting capacity.

It will lift an empty transport/link box normally, but if I load it it fails to lift. If I assist it by doing some of the lifting myself it will lift but drop when I let go.

The oil is at the correct level

What parts are likely to need replacing please, and is this a straight forward job?

Some internal adjustments I belief wil do the trick .
Is there a lot of play on the toplink connectingpoint ?

Thanks for your reply,

The top link doesn't seem particularly sloppy, but I have tried lifting a load without the top link attached and was able to lift for the front of the tractor to lift off the ground.

What adjustments can be made to the top link attachment please

sorry, I missed a bit of text

The top link doesn't seem particularly sloppy, but I have tried lifting a load without the top link attached and was able to lift a load heavy enough for the front of the tractor to lift off the ground.
