To bleed air out of a hyd system, just cycle the cyl's several times, and if necessary, do it again. In most cases, when you pump fluid in, fluid and air come out.

Thanks again JJ. Ok, I put in a gallen, then another and antoher finally 4 gallens and it worked. Went in to get the wife, started it up again, and nothing.
put in another gallen, and nothing. So maybe the lines filled up, lowered the overall level below what it needs to work again. Tomorrow, I will get 5 more gallens, and add one at a time to see what happens. I have all leaks fixed. No leaks anywhere now.
I got two new hoses, but they put the wrong ends on one of them. but anyway, I will get them to fix that tomorrow.

I don't know where 5 gallens went, unless it cyfiended off, when I was getting the new hoses. Then it was the next day before I put them on. I guess thats what happened or it was pretty low to start with. Maybe the dealer only put in enough to get by.

OH yeah, I put a stick in till it bottomes out on the houseing and nothing shows on it yet.

PUt in a sixth gallen, Can't even see it or reach it with the stick still. I understand it only holds 8.7 gallen

Where could it be going, I do not see any leaks anywhere.

Your brother said you've got water in the tranmission. He's a diesel mechanic, can he give you a hand with this?
can you post a picture of this tractor?

Yes, my brother will be helping me with this. Help helped me buy it. But is throughly pissed about what Rudolph Bros did to me about the year difference. He is thinking about us getting a lawyer and sueing them for fraud. Monday we are going to the Lincoln county prosecuting attorneys office and file charges.

Does anyone know how many gallens I need for the Transmission change.
Its been suggested, that I fill the tranny with Diesel fuel, let it set, then drain it, and fill it with the tranmission/Hydrolic fluid.
That just don't sound right to me. What you you old experts say?

If that's the case I suggest you keep careful records of everything you have done to this machine, documented with photos.
This law suit will take years, Rudolf (you already know they are liars and thieves) will place blame on you for the damages.
What about the photo?

no bleeding other than running cyls in and out multiple times.

i'll check my 5000 manual when i get home.. for the multi sump unit.

for the common sump unit.. it's plenty. IE.. 10-13 gallons depending on hyd usage.

wonder just HOW LOW yours was if you've added a few gallons and not got it out of the check port.
