I have done some research and have come up with a plan to flush all of the contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system on out 460. I know this has been beat to death, but I am new here and want your opinions.
Completely drain as best I can, empty loader cylinders of oil by cycling by hand, drain fast hitch, drain PTO. Am I missing something?
Install new filter (I have not removed the old one yet).
Install new cheap fluid with some detergent, ie ATF or Seafoam. Run that through the system for a couple of weeks (we don't use this under any heavy loads, just trying to get the crap out that hangs up).
Drain completely as before and install new filter and HYtran. Tractor now lives in a heated shed. Before it lived uncovered and outside.
You comments are much appreciated. It has been a lot of years since I worked on tractors.
