We recently bought a 1958 460 Utility (gas) with an after-market front loader. I'm new to old tractors and it seems like the last owner never changed the hytrans fluid.
After draining about 10 gallons from the main two drains and replacing the filter, I can only seem to get about 5 gallons back in for some reason. At this level, the fluid starts to trickle out of the level check plug.
I'm using IH's brand from a dealer and have every manual that I can get my hands on including the Operator Manual from this site. While this one at least has overview diagrams with call-outs, which were very helpful, nothing seems to actually describe the process. There's only one fill point called out and I can't find another in case there's something missing.
Is there some process, level position, assumed-knowledge, etc. that I'm missing? This seems like it should be the more straightforward part.
While the tractor is not perfectly level (very slight angle), I don't *think* that's the issue.
Here's my repository of various photos/videos that I've taken for conversations over the last year. Including the diagram: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wqV7h3HnD7tkKKBx8
