This is embarrassing. I have a IH 2444, just bought it, the guy told me to put motor oil in the spout on the top hood (got it) and check it right below the distributor (got it.)
The vented fill hole by the gearshift he said was hydraulic fluid, and had no idea what the level should be. I have a hydraulic line about to get replaced for leaking, and it was acting like it was low (complaining about lifting the bucket etc) so I gave it a random amount (about 2 quarts) which helped the complaining, increased the leak.
Checking the service manual I have for it (not an owners manual) it lists how much transmission fluid to add to it... Oh dear. Is that right next to the gear shift (which would make sense) did I put hydraulic fluid in it? Either the hydraulic or transmission checks/fills someplace else, where?
My last tractor was an itty bitty Kubota, the gearshift fill port got transmission, brakes and hydraulic.
Help?
