Milky PS fluid

I've noticed that my PS fluid is milky and would like to replace it. I'm using the tractor most days and it's been sitting outside when it rains. I guess I'll tarp it from now on. However, my question is: must I drain all lines and cylinders before I replace the fluid, and is there an easy way to do this?

If you have a drain plug in the very back and the bottom of the diff housing you can elavate the front of the tractor and all the water will settle to the bottom. You need to do this after the tractor has set for a while like overnight.

Good advice for the tractor hydraulic system. However, the power steering on the Oliver 550's is a separate system, much like automobile setup. Power steering pump is driven off the back of the generator, and has a built in reservoir. Like anything else, they will build up moisture over time and need to be drained. After disconnecting a line, you need to run the steering wheel back and forth to get as much out as you can. I usually refill 2 or three times, to get as much of the moist fluid out as possible. You can't get every last bit.

Not sure of your setup. But cars, I have disconnected the return line to the resevoir, added a longer piece of hose to route into a bucket. Removed the resevoir filler cap, had some PS fluid close by, had someone else start the engine, and just poured fluid in the resevoir, flushes all the old stuff in the bucket. Just don't let the resevoir go dry. Hope this helps.
