    In case anyone is interested i broke a pilot line loose on one of the valve spools to see if it was the right one and it was.

    85 ford 550 hydraulics running slow

    Nevermind....it will not move. i checked all the linkages and controls and everything seems to work properly. I pulled the transmission filter and ran it for a second and it had very little pressure, fluid was coming out slowly...im thinking the pump is out in transmission....what do yall think?

    CAT D6R fuel in coolant?

    I tried a regular heel bar but it wasnt long enough so i got an adjustable heel bar at napa that worked great!! I changed out the cups which wasnt so bad, hardest part was cutting the threads. Put everything back together and filled coolant ran machine and had no problems.
