Where do you add hydraulic fluid?

[Sheriff Frazee]

I have a 2020, New Holland Workmaster 60 tractor and have developed a hydraulic leak that is affecting the steering. I can't locate the port to add hydraulic fluid

Usually the fill tubes are located near the rear of a tractor - up high, of course. Might be under or behind the seat too.

The fill tube for my Massey Ferguson sticks out the top of the area above the 3 pt hitch - access it just by standing in front of the 3 pt hitch.

It’s not going to be in the engine compartment (if that’s where you were looking)

My 1920 has a separate power steering reservoir right side of engine up high. About 3” dia x 10” black, with rubber cap on top.

My NH TC33D also had a separate power steering reservoir high in the engine compartment.

If it's like the LS, upper right side of PTO. You'll see a small t-handle dip stick that fits into the fill. combined hydraulics/steering/transmission. On my LS, needs API GL4 ISO 46/68. Supertech HD Tractor Transmission oil will work for cheap, or Rotella HD Tractor Fluid ... be careful of TS oils. I was in there the other day, & other than the Shell Rotella, they told me all their stuff is GL5. May be ok if you have HS, but the additive package can eat synchro rings on gear tractor.

It looks like the reservoir is up front above the battery next to the radiator...right side.

I know it's not apples to apples.....but my backhoe/loader (not a 'tractor') has its hydraulic fill cap, inside the engine compartment. As is its oil (engine) and transmission.

My International tractor has its hydraulic fill port on the floor of the operators deck but it's flush so not in the way. (when doing a fluid change, many drain it and then take the 3-point cover plate off. This opens up to the internals of the hydraulic system and pour into there as fast as it will take it.....try that on the floor and it will overflow)

My riding mower has its hydraulic fill also, inside the engine compartment.

I know nothing about his tractor, just pointing out that it might be possible that it's in that area.

My New Holland Workmaster 25 uses a common reservoir for all hydraulic fluid plus transmission and differential. The fill port is in back near the right lift arm.

The non steering hydraulics dipstick and fill hole(the same) is located just forward of your seat on your right side frame-its a hex head cover bolt with built in dipstick. I had to ask my NH dealer about it. The steering reservoir is in the front, plastic container, upper area above battery. If you don't have a owners manual-like me I bought mine used and got nothing on manuals-I have them in pdf form. Already used the heck out of a service manual for a no start/crank issue, and now I think backwards because of looking at those wiring diagrams. Dang relays!

Thank you Emyshorts! The fill port is exactly where you described it. Not marked in any way, just a black hex nut on the floorboard right side of the driver's seat. Got the leak fixed and added fluid and we're good to go!
