    Case 310G Dozer

    Grease was leaking past and through my grease zerk at the end of my track tensioner valve. I replaced it several times, but that didn't fix it.

    Case 580CK: drain plug for hydraulic system?

    I want to put fresh hydraulic fluid in my 580CK, and on many of the online fora the consensus seemed to be that there was a drain plug in the loader frame.
