Hi folks,
Just found this forum while looking for parts, and was hoping someone would be willing to answer a question or two..
I bought an M6950 DTS a couple months ago, after getting tired of dealing with local JD dealers. Tractor has low hours, 560, and barn kept, but I’m running into typical items you would expect for a 30 year machine.

I was running a 20ft 3pt chain harrow today, and the hydraulic sensor light came on. I assume it’s a constriction, so I’ve ordered a filter from local dealer (not in stock), and I’m going to drain and replace the fluid.
-first question. Does this model have a suction screen? I can’t seem to find one in the drawings from Kutoba. Is so, where?
- Is there anything else I should be looking at beyond fluid, filters? Hydraulics are strong, smooth, and I haven’t found any leaks beyond a couple I’m about to swap.
-last question. Has anyone used Providence Premium Trans-hydraulic oil (multi-trac) sold by Rural King? it states it meets Kubota UTD , Super UTD specs.
Thank you all for your help!

Well, after a new filter and fluid the hyraulic pressure light went away. I do have another question if someone could answer?

what is this open hole in my transmission casing with access through the cockpit floor? Missing dipstick? As I drove the tractor I think some fluid sloshed out.. trying to find what goes here with the exploded view drawings, but no luck so far.

We've had this one before, there is supposed to be a rubber plug in that hole.
But the prints don't show it.

With the part not being in drawings, I guess it may be a big ask to see if anyone would know the part number? Otherwise, I’ll take some measurements when I get home and cut something to size I suppose.

thank you for the response.
