4310 ehydro hydraulic problem

[chrismorton]

I have a 4310 ehydro I was doing some work on and I was bleeding the hydraulic lines. After I lifted the bucket to the top the tractor started releasing all of the hydraulic fluid out of a hose on the engine it seems. Can稚 find drain hose in repair manual so I am having a hard time figuring out what痴 going on. Any ideas?

Why were you doing this?

Don't follow what hose was "releasing" fluid.

Can't find drain hose in repair manual...

What are you trying to drain?

Hope we can help you, and might help if we knew why you were doing "some work" to begin with. More info please.

I too, wonder why you would bleed hydraulic lines. They will "self bleed" if you lost and added fluid or did a fluid change.

Ok sorry first time in forum. Originally I had a leaky axel seal and replaced it. Filled with new fluid after and the steering and bucket controls were really shaky so I was bleeding the air out like in the book just by turning wheel back and forth and lifting and lowering bucket and rock shaft. When I had the bucket all the way raised and was bringing it back down it started leaking as I described. I will attach picture of the line the fluid was coming out of as soon as I get over to the tractor. Thanks for responding.

Broken line, I'd suspect.

So that痴 where I got confused because it痴 not leaking from an actual hydraulic line it痴 some sort of overflow drain line as best as I can tell it starts close to the air intake next to an oil plug of some sort and ends close to the right front tire

 

[chrismorton]

All right I think that’s the pics of the drain line that is in question and where it starts

 

[beenthere]

The finger in the pic is pointing to the right side of engine.. not close to the hydraulic pumps on the other side (left) of the engine.

That adds to the confusion..

note: duplicate pics or are the extra's for pointing out something else??

 

[chrismorton]

Yeah sorry about the duplicates. I can稚 find that hose anywhere on the hydraulic schematics. It starts close to the hydraulic pumps but is still confusing me

Looking at jdparts, I suspect the line is oil tube key #4..key#2 is a breather.
Is there a chance the hyd. oil was over-filled?

note: see reply #11 for better suggestion.
