Loader Fill spot problem

just got an 8N with a unmarked mystery loader - plan is to move the loader to an 850. But I want to use the loader on the N to loader a 1/4 acre of mulch and I can't figure where to fill the fluid beside a galvanized standpipe on the top horizontal bar. No other openings or vents can be found so if you fill it at the top - How full? and shouldn't it be vented? Got all the Dearorn manuals and some Wagner but this is different. Hopefully I have added a picture to help.

if you want to vent that fill, remove the cap, drill and tap it for something like 1/8 pipe.. bet a pipe nipple 90 to hose barb, then about 6" of clear hose. slip on. that way you have a vented sump.. even 1/4" tubing will work.
 
Thank you guys - did not understand the monster at all and was sure I'd blow out a cylinder or ruin the pump. The 8N is pretty sorry but maybe its a fun project and worth "restoring" just to have a loader around the few times its needed. I will vent it like Soundguy suggested - makes sense since when I bought it the seller filled it with fluid and then got a shower of hydraulic fliud when he started the tractor, as did the tractor - a result of overfilling. He insisted it was because the cap was not tight enough - I didn't have a clue. Keep you all posted - thanks again.
