My tractor sat for years before I purchased it. The hydraulic fluid was milky white and had water in it. I drained it overnight, replaced it the next day. I had to do this a few times to flush the old fluid out. That was expensive! BTW, mine doesn’t have ANY screens, just a hydraulic filter at pump intake. I have three questions:
To flush the system, can I simply put the lower tank line that goes to the hyd pump into a 5 gallon jug of new hydraulic fluid and place the return line into a separate 5 gallon container? I would cycle the FEL and 3 pt too.
What should hydraulic fluid look like after about 30 minutes of use? IMO, mine looks too dark. The glob in the middle is a paper I accidentally dropped.
Did all models come with hydraulic screens? Should I buy and install them?
thanks!
