Hello,
I got my tractor stuck the other day and used the loader to walk it out. now there is a sound like sucking air coming from a metal box with hydraulic fittings and hoses coming out of it. It is located under the floor of the tractor
did you notice any fluid on the ground ,have you checked your fluid level If everything is ok check your air breather to hdys if all is well ?when was the last time you changed the filters and hdy fluid because if they are old and starting to stop up

The Voyage of Wendy Ann 2
Four years ago my girlfriend Bee and I went temporarily mad and purchased an old harbour tug which we hope to convert to a floating home. Somehow we managed to save what was left of our little ship from the breakers yard and our vessel finally went back in the water in February after an almost total rebuild. This blog is all about our experiences while we try to turn her into the boat of our dreams.
Two weekends ago I was back on board Wendy Ann again, taking out the mothballs with the help of my friend Supersam. Among the more important discoveries we made whilst doing so was that my generator would start only with fairly extreme persuasion, indeed I flattened one starting battery whilst attempting to get it going, luckily I keep a spare fully charged just for this kind of eventuality. Except for the ship’s stereo and a fairly pathetic pair of 12v fluorescents that I run off an old car battery, our vessel is unfortunately currently completely dependent on that lovely big machine for all electrical power- so sorting this engine starting issue was an immediate concern. Working on the restoration of our boat has taught me an awful lot of skills so far, but since we’re devoid of a main engine diesel mechanics is not one of them. Luckily however while I was working on the tug Storebror I did learn a few basics, although I must stress that I cannot by any stretch of the imagination call myself an engineer. One thing I undertook regularly (but admittedly usually with supervision) was filter changes on Storebror’s engines, including her own generator which had a three cylinder perkins engine for a prime mover. Although I was worried that something bad could’ve happened to Wendy Ann’s generator I decided that the best course of action would be to start simple, and undertake a complete oil and filter change; which I figured was about overdue anyway and therefore couldn’t do any harm. A quick visit to my local...
