Why did my Massey Ferguson start leaking oil?

Why did my Massey Ferguson start leaking oil?

I just bought a Massey Ferguson 165 with a fron end loader to load and unload round bales of hay today. After about 30 minutes of light work, it started leaking what appeared to be oil from what I am now told is a “tattle tale” hole underneath. This is a small hole about a foot behind the oil drain plug with a cotter key hanging out of it.

Why is my front loader steering not working?

Happy days. After much playing around and changing the column seal the fluid was still pushing out the top of the steering column. It seemed to worsen when the steering was used hard like with the front loader.
