John deere 2255 slow hydraulics
low

No matter the RPM all hydraulics are slow. 3 point, power steering, loader. I added a bunch of fluid to it, that fixed the steering. The three-point jitters like it has no fluid even though I filled the fluid a bit more than normal. I have a theory though, there is a small reservoir tank directly above the pump, I added some fluid to this and it did speed up the loader, for a few seconds. Otherwise, this tank is empty. I figure the return valve in the flow control is stuck open a little. This makes it so that it does not get enough pressure to operate at full capacity, yet not enough to fill the reserviour. (the loader slows when going down and rpm is up) Now here is the issue, I don't know if this is the problem or the pump itself. It does not sound like it's cavitating, but the engine is so loud it would be hard to tell. I can't find a free repair manual, I do have the owners manual, so if any of you know where to get one I would appreciate it.
