Trying to hook up hydraulic hoses on Fordson Major

Duckblaster · Nov 30, 2021

Hello, I recently purchased a Fordson major and I am putting a loader on it. I found the hydraulic outlet in front of the seat. However, where do I put the return line? Thanks

Modify the filler cap behind the seat to take a return fitting.

Thank you very much. What type of oil should I run now with the new hydraulic line attached?

In 1959 Ford changed the oil spec to 20/30W or Universal Tractor oil. You do
not want a hydraulic oil which would not lubricate the crown wheel and
pinion. Best bet would be the same oil as you use in your engine.
