    snotty hydrulic fluid

    Ok I found a place local that has the universal tractor fluid (they called it a generic hydraulic fluid) for 32.00 for a 5 Gal bucket. the book says it takes 22 Gals so I'll need 4 and a half buckets for each drain / fill so that’s only about 170.00 after taxes, then also it has a filter on...

    snotty hydrulic fluid

    Ok Salesrep made me notice a huge mis in my post, after draining, screening and putting the used oil in a couple times (to get rid of the dirt debris in the tanks) I then again drained it out and replaced with all new fluid and replaced the filters, or maybe the filter change was before the...

    snotty hydrulic fluid

    Hello All, So I haven't posted in a while but am a frequent reader, really enjoy the posts and especially the pictures. I’ve been hooked on heavy equipment since I was young. So when I build my house a few years ago I bought a JCB 4x4 backhoe and did most of my own site work. Last year I...

    New Holland L785 issue

    Well looks a good flush was the trick. I ended up draining the oil and then thought about how I could get as much crud as possible out if the tanks so I used a window screen doubled up over a bucket and filter the oils that I took out and then dumped them back in and drained the "filtered...

    Tire search

    Hello All, Has anyone got any suggestions on a good source for tires and wheels for a New Holland Skid steer? Are the track conversions worth the money? I saw some on another post that might work pretty good, especially if I'm already going to be in over a grand for wheels and tires. Is...

    New Holland L785 issue

    Hello again all, Thanks for the great advice. After hearing about the pick-up filter I got with the dealer to get a few pages faxed from the manual (I've since ordered one for the machine to have) and found the filter. I opened it up low and behold plugged completely up. I cleaned it up good...

    What should I change

    I have a couple skid steers (a New Holland and a TAKEUCHI) and a JCB backhoe. All are in need of some "service". I was going to replace all fluids in these but I'm not sure what "all oils" means. On the skid steers is there any more fluids to be replaced then engine oil and hydraulic fluid? On...

    New Holland L785 issue

    Hello, I recently acquired a New Holland 785 (1992 model) skid Steer. I don't know much about its past since I bought it at auction. What I do know is when I bought it had a bad hydraulic leak (turned out to be the filter seal was out of place). I replaced it and the leak was gone so I drove...
