Ls tractor fluid reservoir question

[platinumaa]

Hello, I have a newer tractor but it doesn't say in the manual what these reservoirs are. Someone please tell me what these are. Thank you

I'd assume the 2nd pic on the rear end is the hydraulic oil fill point and dip stick. The other could be engine oil fill point since I don't think it has a separate pump for power steering. Please tell us what model LS you have. The fill point pics are different than mine.


It looks like you have an R4041 based on your post from 3 years ago and the 2nd pic question was answered then.

The second pic (rear) looks like the hydraulic fluid fill. On certain LS models this is where the hydraulic dip stick/fill is. Do you have hydrostat? Not sure on the other. I agree it looks like a power steering pump.

I have a r4041.

I don't think it's for oil fill because on top of the engine block it says oil fill on a cap.

The copper bar just to the right is the throttle.

Thanks for the help

On my 2016 4155HC the first picture is the oil fill. That's the oil pump, not a power steering pump. I had to look in the manual because it looked like power steering to me too.

The second pic is the hydraulic/transmission/gear fill port. My casting looks just like that.

Seems strange that the first image would show an oil fill concept. My LS G3033h has an oil cap at the top of the engine. This is were I refill or add oil. My machine also has a pump with a plug as show in image one.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks

Many small engines will have two fill ports, the top one in the valve cover means the hood has to be opened to use the lower one on the engine doesn't need the hood opened.

When you said a newer tractor I thought you meant a current model, not a R4041 from 2011. The newer models have a different engine. Not sure where you were looking in the manual, but this information is in the manual in section 5. Here are pictures from the R series manual of transmission and hydraulic check / fill and engine oil fill. It's not a pump, it's just an engine oil fill port.

Had a 2011 R4041 (and now a 2017 XR4140) ... as indicated by all previous posts I can confirm the outlet at the rear of the tractor is for hydraulic and the front outlet is for engine oil.
