Tractor Repair: massey harris hydraulics, massey ferguson parts, harris hydraulics

Question
hi,
i believe the hydraulic on my mh 50 is in need of repair.  the three point barely lift any implement and it gets worse as the machine gets warmed up.  i haven't taken it apart yet though i understand that it could be the piston up top just under the seat or it could also be the hydraulic pump itself.  i have found parts for the piston and rings but have not been able to find a hydraulic rebuild kit for the pump as a mh50.  there are plenty of massey ferguson parts available but i could only find a new massey harris 50 pump.  do you believe my problem is with the pump and if so where can i find a rebuild kit.
thanks
andy

Hello,

  If it gets worse as the oil gets warmed up, it most likely is the pump.  I can't find any info on a rebuild kit, but here are some things that may be of some help.

  This site has parts listed individually, not in a kit.

  This page has info that different pumps will fit on this model and can be used in place of the original style pump.
