    Dad’s Ford 3610 he couldn’t tell me

    Dad lived till he was 89 and drove and took care of his tractor up until his last 9 months. Now I have to add hydraulic fluid and I want to be sure this is the right place. Is the bolt in the center of the pic the place to add the fluid? It is behind and slightly to the right of the top link.
