Naturally, any precautions taken during cold weather to keep the tractor and hydraulic system warm will reduce the need for diluting the hydraulic system oil.Lubricate all miscellaneous points, not equipped with fittings, with crankcase lubricating oil every 50 service hours.Careful attention was given to the design of the hydraulic system to guard against oil leaks. Connections were eliminated where possible and metal to metal joints, with rubber ring seals, are used instead of the usual pipe thread joints. Oil leaks should not be neglected as the loss of oil is an unnecessary expense as well as a possible cause of damage to the hydraulic system. It is extremely important in handling the oil to keep it clean. Every precaution should be taken to use only clean filler cans and to be sure that all dirt is removed from the filler cap before it is taken off for filling. The operator should take every precaution to prevent dirt from getting into any system to extend the life of the hydraulic control.Careful attention to the following information on lubricants and their proper selection will add much to performance, economy and long life of the hydraulic control.
