- 2007 John Deere 2305

have another thread posted earlier, but i bought a used 200cx loader for my 2305 and believe that I have contaminated the hydro oil in my tractor with the oil that had been sitting in the loader... not a big deal due to I am only 40 hours away from the required maintenance anyway... ???? is once i disconnect the loader and service the tractor trans, how dow i get the oil out of the loader to ensure I have all fresh fluids?? thx
BACKGROUND: 2007 2305, bought used with 60 hours, at the time of sale all fluids were changed, I have 200 hours on the machine now. the tractor stays inside year round.
the loader was purchased used, was outside when I purchased it.. I had to relieve pressure in two of the lines and replace two of the quick connects..
When I initially hooked up the loader yesterday, everything worked fine as it should... when I shut off the machine i checked the sight bubble in the rear and noticed a discolored look to the top of the oil in the glass... it appeared to be tiny bubbles that gave it an almost off-colored tan look... after i let the machine sit the bubbles were gone and the oil was the proper color.. You got me... i figured maybe air in the system and it will purge or possible a little water?? anyway I feel i should drop the $60 and service the trans....
the above pic is a color of the oil directly after use
