I'll know how much hydraulic fluid it holds as soon as I get the manual for it. It is a Kubota B-219 loader.
The Hydraulic reservoir is the right rear vertical member of the loader frame. It's about a 4" X 6" X 3ft metal tube. From near the bottom a hose runs to the pump mounted on the the tractor below and in front of the radiator. The pressure hose runs from the pump to the control valves mounted on the top of the reservoir/vertical member. The returns from the hydraulic cylinders are plumbed to near the top of the reservoir. There is a fill cap on the top of the reservoir near the control valves. There is no method of measuring how full the reservior is and there is no filter in the system that I can see.
Unique, huh? This is about a 1978 vintage tractor. 823.7 hours on the meter but my Father in law (who is the original owner) says that the meter stopped "awhile ago".
It may be "unique" but it's mine and, so far, does all I need it to do. Between getting the manuals and advice from this board, I hope to keep it running another 800 hours!
