I have a 1965 AC 160 that is leaking hydraulic fluid. The leak appears to be coming from the point where one of the top lifting arms of the 3 point hitch joins the chassis of the tractor. It is a slow drip that happens whether the tractor is running or not so I'm thinking this leak is connected to the reservoir. (My knowledge of tractor mechanics is slim and none.) I'm assuming this is a seal issue, but would appreciate any comments or suggestions as to how to repair it. Thanks!

KL, sorry not to be of any help with the leak, but I'll respond, so your post flips back to the top and maybe some one will see it that missed it before. Also, not to pick you apart, but AC didn't make the 160 in 1965, so either your year is off, or else your model number. See ya just joined the forum yesterday, welcome aboard. Darrel
