I drained the hydro unit this morning after removing a 3/4 pipe plug and I only see about 1/4 pint of oil from the hydro sump and didn't find any metal.
It also has a 3/4 pipe tee near the filter and there was oil present. When I drained the oil the oil in the tee drained too as expected. When refilling the hydro it only held under a quart. My manual says it holds 4 quarts.
The best part is the tractor can be driven. There's probably a lot of oil in the other components that don't drain unless you do a complete teardown. Any ideas? Hal
PS: Thanks for your help.
