I own a 1993/94 Ford Newholland 1215 compact tractor and after 870 hours I will be replacing the hydraulic fluid and filter. I am the second owner of this machine and I do see evidence that hydraulic fluid and filter have been changed previously. We no longer have a Ford/Newholland tractor dealership in our town forcing me to service my tractor personally. I need to know where the specific location is for the hydraulic drain plug (this is a manual shift model, clutch and all). I presume the manual gearbox has its own type gear oil and drain plug location. I just need to drain the hydraulic fluid, flush the system and replace the hydraulic filter and fill the system up with the appropriate grade and viscosity fluid. I have not obtained the service manual on this model. Going forward, I will locate a good source for the service manual. At the moment, I just need to service the hydraulic system. Any ideas on this model could prove helpful. I suspect most members here have much larger tractors though I presume they all share service similarity for the manual shift models. Thanks for any assistance I can receive here on the forum.
