I've got a straight 410...Army model from 1975+-
I had hydraulic problems a couple years ago and found it was that screen tube filter at the bottom of the tank. I don't use the machine much and expect maybe 50 hours (over 2 years) and it happened again....just checked the screen and it was clogged again.
As hard as it is to get to the screen is this abnormal? I did run the heck out of it the last 4-6 hours before it slowed and could barely use the loader or backhoe to move off the ground.
Any fluid I can run through it to clean it out or are these just sediment particles for sitting a lot when the army used it and my own sitting time. Between the last time I changed it I replaced some hoses but basically it sits for long periods of time.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

The hydraulic filter is after the screen. I've changed both of them and they seem clean...although I will replace again when I put humpty dumpty back together again.
Yes, it looks like fiber, bits of rubber and some goo. I did change some hoses and have a couple more to change. I don't have many leak down cylinders but it makes sense about the packing and maybe even corroded interior of some hoses.
I'll replace a few of the oldest hoses and re-clean the screen after a few hours of run time.
Thanks,
Tom
