Oil & Fuel 2305 Loader Hydraulic oil question

[absrio]

The dealer finally got my 200cx loader in and got it installed. Before the install my hydraulic fluid showed in the proper level. After installing the loader I noticed it was a bit lower while it was on but still ok. I took the loader off tonight a mowed and found the oil to be real low. How should I top it off without having to much when the loader is on.

After using your new loader for a while, some trapped air may have been replaced with hydraulic fluid - quite normal.
Now that the loader should be free of any air, and full of hydraulic fluid, it should show no difference in your sight glass with the loader on or off.

A good rule of thumb is to always check the level with the system totally cooled, and with the 3 point hitch in the same position when checking (I check mine with the 3 point hitch down also).

If checking with the loader on, the loader bucket should be flat on the ground.

So if you have the loader off now, lower the 3 point hitch, and add fluid to the center of the glass (system cold). When you reattach the loader, you should see no change of the level.
