Changing out hydraulic fluid on tractor with FEL ?

blunosr · Apr 29, 2015

Hi, somehow my hydraulic fluid seems to have water in it. That includes my FEL. How do I change that out?

Do I rinse? With what?

If I drain the FEL (how?), how do I bleed the air out of it and refill with fresh fluid?

Thanks for any advice...

I would buy cheaper hyd oil then drain old oil,fill with new oil,cycle hyd functions then drain and install good oil. Just cycling hyd functions will bleed the air out of system if there is any.

Check for cracks in trans shifter boots and be sure that hyd reservoir breather isn't plugged with debris

I have gotten more oil out of loader tractors by having the loader at full height with bucket where it can rotate down. Then shut off the unit and drain all you can. Then with engine off and drain plugs out let gravity roll the bucket and then lower it and more will come out. I once had a little loader tractor and used a bigger loader to lift the loader up and down some more while holding the loader valve open. This got even more out.
