[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1822485, member: 21382"] Hydraulic fluid foaming is cavitation so either you are sucking air or have a gap in your hydraulic pump. TL90 with mechanical shuttle is a dry clutch. I was taught to test them by driving up to a solid object, tree etc. that won’t move. Push on it and either tractor should stall or spin if clutch is good. I know the one I had I was constantly adjusting the clutch trying to limp it along. The man I got it from ran it out of adjustment for years and had pretty much run it out of it. Traded it off before I had to replace it. Tractor wasn’t a powerhouse so losing power is pretty common. A slipping clutch should actually allow the motor to rev not lug. Sounds like you may have a clutch issue but may have a few other things going on as well. [/QUOTE]
