I have got a 50B on our farm and have spent a lot of time getting it running correctly. Have you got 2 levers on the rear hydraulic control for the back digger arm? If you have the small lever on the extreme right is for the two small rams that lock the rear digger carriage in place push up to un lock then use the arm at 90 degrees to the machine to move the carriage across the back of the machine. Do not forget to re lock the carriage, I did not on one occasion, oop's. Have a look through the front of the grill in front of the radiator there is the hydraulic pump powered by a universal shaft from the front of the engine. The hydraulic tank is in the upright column on the left hand side of the front bucket frame. Top up with 46 hydraulic oil it runs better on that. The hydraulic oil filter is under a removable floor plate in the cab on the left hand side. To change the filter you need to drain some of the oil in the tank. If you look under the tank in the frame on the left hand side there is a 2 part plug. The small inner one drains enough oil for a filter change the larger drains the tank completely. I drained the tank on mine and got 10 litres of complete gunk out it now runs much better.
