Michael Waldchen (mike n mi)was kind enough to donate his copy of the dealer parts book (now from Bush Hog who acquired Freeman) for the Freeman 2000, 3000, 3500 and 4000 model loaders:

Thanks for posting the parts manual for a Freeman 4000.

Do you have an operators manual by chance? My loader works OK but when it gets hot it struggles and it will not hold the hydraulics when the tractor is off. I assume that it is a problem in the valves.

Any Thoughts?

Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg. Should be able to get the owner's manual from the Bush Hog web site - that's where this parts manual came from.

Yeah, either the pump or control valve may be leaking once the fluid thins out. May just need o-rings if you get lucky.
