It's in the hydraulic control tank.
So I need to drain the tank and dissassemble?
Yes, that is how you would gain access.....but I'd be more suspect of the cylinders themselves as in leaking piston seals.
Sounds like a pump to me. To check the cylinders get the bucket up as far as you can, put it in hold and watch the drift.

The cylinders are old and tired, but the bucket supprised me by staying up.
This thing goes from working to not working rather quickly. Don't know if that is a clue or not. Just seems it does not have to heat up much if heat is what is doing it.
"Works good until warm" roughly translated means a leak and a worn out pump is also a leak. Drain the tank and take the pump off and open it up>

Can you hear the main relief valve lift at the end of cylinder travel?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
