    John Deere 310A Weak Forward and Reverse

    OK first of all 303 will eat the packs up on most of those old jd machines especially if they already have some wear on them and are starting to get weak, the milky color is from water in the oil, if hydraulics are strong will almost bet internal pump is ok because it feeds the main pump, almost...
