Transmission and hydraulic Fluid

Lloyd_E · Jul 1, 2010

In the DK45S shop manual they show the same picture for hydraulic and transmission points of refilling. This is at rear of tractor next to 3 pt hitch - red plug with hook. Is this where I top up the hydraulic fluid? I pulled the dip stick and it is reading low - to lower right of refilling tube - which by the way could be redesigned!

May be a stupid question but manual is loosely accurate.

TIA

Yes the red cap with the hook is where you top off the hydraulic. I have the 45SE HST model. If I understand correctly, both pumps use the same reservoir but have different filters.
