I realy need to get the manual for the live hydro on this tractor. The owners manual just covers the normal setup and it only talks about it a bit.
So I need to fill this thing up with hydraulic fluid. I found the fill pipe but where the heck is the fluid check pipe or cap?
In the picture in the manual where they show it should be I dont have one. In stead that is where all my valves come out of.
As you can see here
and another picture here
Is there a way to check it through the fill tube?
any help would be nice.
Thanks
John

Re: Live hydro M questions.
Well, I'll take a stab. I would make sure any hydraulic cylinders attached to it are retracted, and fill it up at least to the base of your filler neck, where it 90*'s out the side of the clutch housing.
Now, I will assume you know that the M did not come factory with live hydraulics. There were kits to add it--I think Char-Lynn had one, you could put various IH parts together to make it happen, and M&W made a kit that was probably the most popular. Most of them provided for dropping the standard M belly pump/housing, removing the pump, fabbing up a cover plate and using the old housing for a reservoir. You had to drill and tap a 3/4" pipe thread hole near the bottom of the reservoir for your suction line.
Forget what I just said if you already knew all that....

Re: Live hydro M questions.
I am pretty new to tracotrs and even newer to hydro. You pretty much stated what I thought about filling it up.
It would be nice if some one could ID this kit so if Ineed parts or some thing in the future.
