satoh s370d hydro-oil fill

[tommypaul]

hi guys well got my parts and i'm getting ready to put my tractor back together after the new clutch and refurbish project. ok i have the service manaul and it tells to fill hydro-oil to the bolt on the side. i'm wondering if there is something more/or if there should be a little more oil added for the loader? if so how much? thx for your helpps here a few pictures

Here Satoh Parts is a picture from Valley Power showing the fill plug. I think it is on the left side where your heel would be on the running board.

I think if I were refilling my system after mostly draining it, with all cylinders in their retracted position, I'd fill to normal level. Fire the tractor up and cycle the cylinders in/out several times and after retracting them shut the tractor down and check it again adding as needed.

I don't recall there being any mention of overfilling on my tractor, but most of the literature we had on it is long gone.

Where did you get the service manual and how much?

thx oliver28472 the question is. should'nt more oil be add because when the loader calls for hrdro-oil would it not leave the tranmisson low? so would't it need a little more oil then just a stock tractor? thx tommy

Others probably can answer with greater authority, but I do not think the cylinders will use so much fluid when totally extended that you are in a dangerous position. Particularly since you don't run all day long with the loader arms all the way up and the bucket dumped. If you do, I suggest you consider other issues first.

I think I've seen them on eBay.

I'd love it if they sold them as a PDF.
