No offense taken. And I did use udt2. The cheap stuff would just be for the flush

The update is that I don't have a warm garage to move this into but Sunday it's supposed to hit 35. Tomorrow I'm getting fluid and extra filters and am gonna pull off the transmission side filter for ice crystals inspection. Then - presuming I confirm water presence - I'll use the warm weather...

Nope. Won't move. No response whatsoever when hit the pedal or the bucket control. Did I kill my pump from trying?

Also...if it doesn't so much as make a sound when you operate the pedal or the stick, is that an indication of a pump being shot?

Update Came home and ran it at 1400 rpm for thirty minutes. Nothing. Didn't even seem to respond to either throttle or bucket joystick. Dipstick fluid image attached I wanted to check the filters for ice crystals as suggested but - seeing as they are below the top of the reservoir - is that...

How badly did I mess up by trying to move it prematurely?

No I dont have a block heater. The recommendation is noted

I left it at LOW idle for about 7-8 minutes before trying. Are you suggesting it should have been at high idle?

No I bought brand new oil and used that. Noted on the time. When I looked the next morning it didn't seem to still be dripping. There is a filter and I did replace it when I re-filled but I will check it for ice crystals when I go home later Thanks

Sorry I mis-wrote. It was indeed hydraulic oil

Hello Today it was 12 degrees and I fired up the l series to push some snow and the hydraulics were not working. I got the tractor to move about 30 feet and the bucket up about 6 inches and that was all she wrote. I fear that there may water in the hydraulic system freezing in the orifices. The...

Dan Thank you! I didn't even have to go that far. I went to do so and found the line to the backhoe had it's fitting stuck in an intermediate position (partially retracted) finagled it back into place and were good to go. Appreciate your help

Hello I have a 2021 l3901 with just under 200 hours on it. I was operating yesterday when, suddenly, pulling the stick down towards me ceased to lift the bucket, save a very slow creep up (maybe two to three minutes for a full lift) Suspecting power loss, I tested the backhoe and the loader...

That's good to know. The op was probably just fine then but I just drained my machine and I'm guessing it was easily a pint of water in there, if not a bit more. Got it out just before the freeze hit overnight. So the only question i can think of is whether there are still tiny bits of water in...

Hi guys hope you don't mind me resurrecting an old thread but I have a similar situation. Total bonehead move on my part, as I had a pail of hydraulic fluid that was left outside and it was only after I started topping it off that I noticed it was so runny (aka water got in there). In my case...

In case it's unclear, here is a photo of what i actually still have

Lost the "horseshoe & pin" assembly for the check chains to my l3901 three point hitch. See circle in attached photo. Rookie mistake first time i attached it and i didn't bend back the cotter pins. Anyway... The local dealership says i have to buy the whole assembly (parts 20, 60,70 and80)...

I was referring to water concentrations - a miniscule amount of steam being worth using the affitibe whereas a lot if steam would make the affitibe detrimental. But it seems your opinion is well established Thx

Do i take this to mean that, even with the separator not full, water still sits in the bottom of the tank? The water separator doesn't fill up first(it's not effectively the lowest point)?

Would it be safe to say that, in very small concentrations, the additive can be your friend, as this steam effect is negligible...whereas at higher concentrations, the additive turns into an enemy?
