Hi all !
Two years ago I bought the tractor which has worked great until I started using a log splitter on the back.
At first the splitter was very slow so someone told me to drain some oil off which I did and this worked however I've had to do it several times and now when I open the grub screw on the hydraulic pump nothing comes out which would suggest the tank is empty ?
So my first question is :-
A. How do I check the fluid level ? And have I been putting the hydraulic oil in the correct place i.e. in the tank beside the gear levers ( again someone said that the oil in this tank is for the gears and the hydraulics ??? but if this is so how has the level on the dip stick not changed yet I now have a drum with two gallons of hydraulic oil in which I've drained off ).
Thanks for reading this.... John
