Hydraulic hose replacement and hydraulic oil change

[Swblack1216]

This is a follow up and another question about my backhoe hose replacement a Ford 755 backhoe on a Ford 4500 industrial. I have decided to do the hoses myself and I started looking at all the places to pour hydraulic oil so far if correct The differential the transmission and I just discovered the front end frame reservoir. I would like to have a video on that I have all the service manual, but I am more of a visual guy, and if anybody knows of a video showing how to change the hydraulic oil in the front frame reservoir .Would be great greatly appreciated.TIA. OK I AM 70 BUT UNFORTUNATELY, a newbie to this THIS TELL ME IS IT POSSIBLE TO POUR IN FLUID AND GET THE EQUIPMENT TO MOVE EVEN WITH THE LEAK I WOULD LIKE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE BACKHOE.

I would not change the fluid until you fixed the hoses. You could be dumping valuable new (and expensive) oil on the ground. There's also the possibility of contaminating the new oil with crud from and around the hoses. Cleanliness and hydraulics go hand in hand. If you're making your own hoses, be sure to blow them out after cutting. There's a special tool and supplies for that but I use the sponge ear plugs then blow them through the hose with air. Works well.
