purge 460 U loader hydrauics

What's a good way to purge water-contaminated hydraulic fluid from the front end loader on a 460 Utility without spending a fortune in the process of draining, refilling, loader cycling, draining, etc., etc., etc.-------

IMHO, it's not worth bothering. You'll never get it all out. Just let the fresh new oil mix with what little is left in there and change the fluid on normal intervals going forward.

You'll never get all the water out, you'll never keep it all out, and a little bit won't hurt a thing. It just looks ugly, but if you don't let the oil leak out, you won't even know it's in there.

Using the tractor and getting the oil hot will boil some of the moisture out too.

You will never get 100% out.The 'best' way is to remove ahll hoses and drain them. Them remove cylinders and purge them by working them in/out several times to blow out all the oil. Drain the tractor,crack any steel line/fitting on the tracton.. Then fill with fresh.
