1. Warm up the tractor: Run the tractor for a few minutes to allow the hydraulic fluid to reach its operating temperature. This ensures you get an accurate reading.
2. Locate the hydraulic oil sight glass: Your Farmall Super tractor should have a glass window or dipstick to indicate the hydraulic fluid level. It is typically located on the exterior of the tractor, either near the hydraulic reservoir or on the steering column.
3. Check the fluid level: When the tractor is parked on level ground, check the oil sight glass to determine if the hydraulic fluid is within the recommended range. On some models, the sight glass might have "Full" and "Add" marks to help you asses the level easily.
4. Add fluid as needed: If the hydraulic fluid level is low, you'll need to add some to bring it back to the recommended level. For your safety and to prevent spilling, use a funnel when adding hydraulic fluid.
5. Reinstall the dipstick or cap: Make sure to reinstall the dipstick or cap securely to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of the hydraulic system.
Remember, the hydraulic fluid might appear low when the tractor is running because of the fluid's circulation and the pump drawing it into the system. To get an accurate reading, check the fluid level with the engine turned off.
It's important to maintain the appropriate hydraulic fluid level to ensure proper functioning of your Farmall Super Tractor's hydraulic system. Regular fluid checks and timely fluid replacement as per the manufacturer's recommendations can help extend the life and efficiency of your tractor's hydraulic components.
