Case Jx95
I have a Case Jx 95 that I have replaced the steering fluid tank 3 times and after I replace it everything works great and then the tank will melt and loose all my fluid. Why is this thing melting my tanks.

Heat or not rated for the fluid are first things suspect.
Is it close to something hot?
Does the melting start one place?
Is your steering fluid boiling? If it is the fluid heat you can add a cooler.

Yes it is close to manifold and I was thinking about adding some heat shield . Just wasn’t sure if that was the problem or fluid boiling.

Get an infra-red thermometer (~$20 at Harbor Freight) and see what is causing your problem. I doubt it's the steering fluid. Sounds more like it would be exhaust related. Look for exhaust leaks like the line to the turbo, proximity to the exhaust manifold, etc

Yes it happens in the same spot on the bottom close to the hose clamp.

If that is the exhaust manifold right below that clamp, a heat shield should help. I'd check for exhaust leaks in that area as well.
