1010 Hydraulic system oil change questions

fruitcakesa · Post by **fruitcakesa** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 5:24 pm

Should I warm up the tractor and operate the blade some before draining the hydro tank or should it be done cold?
How do you flush all the old fluid out of the whole system ie: lines, valves and hoses?
There is a spin on filter that looks very much like the engine oil filter on the tractor. Does that sound right?
Thanks

Lavoy?
Anybody?

Do it warm so all the junk is suspended in the oil. Raise the blade all the way and then drain, once it is mostly drained, lower the blade to get the rest out. Some oil is always left in the system unless you remove all the lines which is a little excessive

I don't know about a 1010 dozer, but on my 2010 loader the procedure in the manual is to retract all of the loader cylinders after warmed up and then run to allow the pump to drain the system. Like said before, it won't get all of the oil out but will get most of it.

Well I had already dumped the oil before Tigerhazes last post but I started it up any way to see if more would pump out but little if any more did.
I only ran it for less than a minute as I did not want to run the pump with no fluid in the system.
