Flow equals speed. Pressure equals power. Probably has a worn gear pump.

Bad seal behind the drive motor causes low fluid in the hydro

the leakage into chain case is reffered to as carrier seals easy to prove pull chain case plug if oil pours out confirmed carrir seals bad. yes you probally know this. but knowing this also means you have probally run hyd sys dry at least once? pumps like oil. pumps do not like air or no oil. pump now be angry. will show its anger by by turning into shrapnel. it will than show its anger by completely trashing youre hydrostat..... brass meets steel steel wins, hope its not too late.
