Hi guys,
I have a question about the hydraulics on my ser. 4 D-17..
I had a water contamination issue (due to a bad cylinder on a second hand loader I bought) into my hydraulic system.
Earlier today, I drained the hyd. oil, changed the filter, and tried to blow all the nasty oil back.
I have a service manual and a op manual (came with the tractor when I bought it from my grandad a few years back) but it shows something different than what I have/see (maybe from a earlier D-17??, as I know he had more than one over the years)
I only see one place to add hyd. oil (left side just ahead of the transmission top cover.. book say that would be the power director housing) Filled it with oil.. still nothing drips out of the hydraulic pump sump, and I see no way to put oil into it (book shows a cap near where the belt pulley would be, but that's where my hyd pump is)
Do I just start it and then will oil transfer or?? I asked grandad, he says just fill it up and it equalizes, but so far that's not happening.. What am I missing?? Does it have to be running to equalize?
I'm at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brad
