re: Farm Pro 2425 lift problems
Older models have an internal suction screen. You didn't mention external spin-ons, so I'll assume you have an older model. There's a steel hydraulic line that comes up the side of the tranny, then enters the lift box under the left front corner of the operator seat. It's an easily identifiable triangular flange. Remove the steel line and the three flange bolts. The suction screen is underneath.
Not sure what part of the manual you're reading, mine has a viscosity versus ambient temperature list. But in the part of the country you and I live in, 10W is the way to go. That way you don't have to do a seasonal hydraulic fluid change. Go to any auto parts or farm store, and buy AW32 hydraulic fluid. But before you pay, make absolutely sure it's AW32 hydraulid fluid - and not AW32 machine oil. That stuff will foam all over the place.
