Well I picked it up the other day, spent two hours driving it home but finally made it. Everything seems to work fine but it does leak multiple substances...oil, hydraulic fluid, and oil. I guess as long as it leaks I know it is there. Whats the best way to get at the hoses etc behind the rad? Do I have to take the exhaust off to get the top cover off...looks like I do. Also is there any other maintenance I should be doing besides oil changes...Ok it changes itself right now...and greasing the pivot points? Also I take it there is no tranny fluid, it uses the front hydraulic fluid??

Got an MF70 about a month ago and everything works fine except it won't go into high gear and in low it doesn't have much power, won't go up a slight hill. Any ideas on what maybe causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Then where do I put the tranny fluid? The hydraulic fluid was down 5 gal when we got it. It didn't want to go into high range and had no power in low. I topped up the fluid and it worked fine. It has high/low forward and high/low reverse. Also might you have any idea the weight of the beast?

That's the spot. I'm told that the front loader hydraulics run off the same resevoir. Thanks for hte info. Now I just have to find a service manual.
