I would suspect a dirty pressure relief valve, Clint.

Well, I went out and tried to bleed the hydraulic system. I run thru 25
gallons of
hyd fluid. I get some pressure from a hose coming from an aux  hyd lever
control.
but with the engine at full throttle I can still hold my finger over the
end of
the line and stop the flow??? A lot less pressure than comes from a
water hose!

I did have the pump off and all the lines off but see no reason why the
hyd pump
would go from working to being worn out just from R & R it. I checked
all the
lines and cannot find anyplace it could be sucking air.

it is weird, I can get fluid to coming out a line and as it starts it
seems to
start at a dribble then finally gets a stream going, but like I said, I
can put my
finger over the stream and easily stop the flow, then If I let it sit a
few
minutes, and then try again, no pressure at all, and it will take a
moment to get
any pressure at all again,

could a worn pump act like this? once all the pressure is relieved from
pulling it
off, it just looses all its effect?
