Get Your Farmall 460 Tractor Back to Work with This Hydraulic Solution

The loader, bucket and power steering on my Farmall 460 are not working at all because the hydraulics were plugged up. Today - I repaired that little problem by changing and cleaning the hydraulic filters.

Here's a bit of information about me - The Otter Creek Redneck...
First of all, I really don't fit the stereotype that most people think of when they hear the word "Redneck".
I'm just a guy living in rural Otter Creek Township in northwest Wisconsin. Why do I live here? Well, there's a dirt road 100 feet from my driveway. The nearest neighbor is a 1/4 mile away and I can walk north out the back door and not cross a road for 6 miles.
I have a pickup truck, in fact I have 3 Chevy trucks (1999, 2002 and 2013)
I have a tractor, a 1962 Farmall 460.
I go to tractor pulls.
I go snowshoeing.
I snowmobile.
I hunt.
I fish.
But then I go to work everyday to a high tech job in town and my deer stand has WiFi access.

Thanks, I'm heading to town to pick up a filter for my uncle's tractor. By the time you read this, it will be done!

[@OtterCreekRedneck]

Good deal! It's a pretty easy job.

Nice to see somebody not wearing those nitrile gloves

[@OtterCreekRedneck]

Not for me. I like getting my hands dirty. Besides gasoline cleans grease off my hands.

Thank you for sharing. I just got a 460. I see that you don't need to replace all the fluid when changing the filter. Good to know. Looks like you lose about a quart in this process. Do you top that off?
I found a quart of hydraulic fluid on the floor this morning. I suspect it's because I left the bucket up so pressure on the system pushed it out of some coupler or seal. That should not happen I think. Anyway thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching Andrew! I do top of the fluid when I'm done.

Do you have a video on how to replace hydraulic pump and how to remove air from the hydraulics system. Great video.

[@OtterCreekRedneck]

I don't have that video, I've not needed to replace the pump (Thank Goodness!) But - here's a video to do that: th-cam.com/video/tEpPrIcfc8I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QgGP97pnZPlfCMk0
