GOT A 1960 M5 THAT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE TO FILL HYDROLIC FLUID. THIS TRACTOR HAS A 3 POINT. HAVE A PARTS TRACTOR WITHOUT 3 POINT AND IT HAS A CAP WITH A DIPSTICK UNDER THE SEAT BUT I CANT FIND IT ON THE ONE WITH 3 POINT. WHAT FLUID SHOULD I USE? HAVE A BARREL OF HYTRAN FOR MY IH's WILL THIS WORK? THANKS!!!

M5, I made my own fill tube. On the right rear corner of the reservoir I took out the 1/2 pipe plug and put a short nipple with a "T" pipe fitting, put the original plug in the botton hole, a 6inch nipple on the top, drilled a 1/4 inch hole in a female pipe plug cut the head off a spike, welded it in the hole of the cap, filled the reservor to within an inch of the top, in the place under the seat, stuck my homemade dipsick in the 6 inch nipple saw where the oil level was, made a mark on the spike with hacksaw, painted it and looks factory. Now can add, drain, and check hyd oil with ease.

Your fluid will work. Now the fluid fill is kind of dumb ...but you can fix that also. There is a set of lift controls under your seat that is held on by 4 bolts. Take it off and fill to about 1 inch from top. There should also be an upturned 90 in front of that with a pipe plug, and that is also a level plug. Now if you get real lucky and find a late model 602 or early 670 you will see they have a fill tube and dip stick in the back right of the system.You can duplicate this very easily if you have a pattern. I know a guy who makes them for $70 but I found one for $5 at bone yard
