Massey Feruson 1635 hydraulic oil?

[MATTZ183]

Does anyone know my hydraulic oil capacity? I found this on the spec sheet: "Hydraulics Type: Open center; Total Flow: 16.5 gpm (62.3 L/min.)/17.6 gpm (66.5 L/min.)". Does that mean I need to have 16.5 gals in the rear? Maybe someone can direct me to a site or knows the answer to this? Thank you.

No. It is the flow rate of the system. The trans/hyd/whatever/whatever draw from a sump. On my Ford 2000, about 30 hp, it's about 2 gal with 5 gpm of pump velocity but that's just a hyd sump....tranny and diff are separate.

On my Branson, I have a common sump for everything and have wet brakes hydro steering and all and 65 hp. The sump on it is about 15 gal and the flow rate is around 17 gpm combined.

Your tractor will have a sump level detector somewhere. Either a screw on the side of the tractor main housing usually about half way up the side that you remove and full is when oil comes out the hole, or a dip stick.
