Krice58 5 #26 Posted 22 hours ago Between my vacuum evacuator, pulling the plug and filter off, I got a little under 4 quarts of oil out. Total capacity is 6, but I know with the lines and everything it’s not completely empty and it was low to begin with. So I guess put 4 back in and slowly fill and check until full? It’s not currently running as I’m waiting on parts, will that matter as I will not be able to cycle the system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,021 #27 Posted 21 hours ago To test a hydro in a non runner, I often park a running tractor behind and drive the non runner hydro from the PTO of the runner. I have the non runner strapped to a tree and test the hydro to spin the tires in forward and reverse. If the hydro does not test strong, it usually becomes a parts tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people use a dinking straw going through the funnel as a vent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrc 954 #29 Posted 15 hours ago there is a hump in the bottom of the tranny casting. obviously remove drain plug and let it drain till it drips. then jack up the front of the tractor as high as you can. you will be surprised how much more oil will drain out. after refilling, drive it forward and reverse and cycle the lift lever multiple times. then recheck your dipstick. it will probably need topping off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
