My 8N has an add on hydraulic system. The fluid in it now is a bit foamy, like it has some water in it, and when using the pump, it does cavatate a bit. Now I am planning on draining the system, and I am adding a filter, [this will be a thread later on this week. My first welding project on the tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif] is there anyway to flush the system after, to get any left over water out? Also the tank has a drain plug, level plug, fill plug, and two line attachments, but no vent of any kind, should there be one? I always thought you needed one. I see that northern has a screw in vent/fill cap. My present fill is a pipe plug. I was planning on adapting that up to the ¾ pipe size that the vent cap is. Any other tips for me? I am "kinda" used to hydraulic systems from my Ingersolls, but this is laid out a little different. Thanks for any help.
