    Changing hyd oil

    Well it turns out it is suppose to use 10w30. I have Hydraulic oil in it now. This skid steer's hyd. pump makes a loud noise when under load. I don't think this should be. It has done this since owned, thought changing oil would help, but didn't. Does anyone have any idea's on this?

    Pumping oil out vent

    It is a 104 cu in. engine. around 30 hp. in a MF 516. I don't have a manual. Wished I did. The oil is higher then on the dip stick, but not as high as when I bough it. It starts fine, but have to use either when cold. It pours out a lot when revved up. It comes out in spurts, and around a quart...

    Pumping oil out vent

    MF516 Has ATF in hydraulic system. Help, new to skid steers

    I'm thinking of draining ATF out of system, and putting in Regular hyd. oil. What is the best way to drain system? Will it hurt if some ATF is still in, because unlikely to get all out? It has a Vickers pump. Or should I stay with ATF? Haven't used it yet. Bought it used and trying to fix it up...

    Changing hyd oil

    I bought a MF516 skid steer made by Fermec. The man bought from had ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for Hydraulics. It seems to work OK, but worried about the pump failing from using it. It has a Vickers pump. No one I've talked to has heard of anyone using ATF for hyd. fluid. He said that is...
