953 Water in the Hydraulics

[trose2]

Does anyone have a trick to get the water out of the Hydraulic Systems on this machine? It was purchased with 2 defective drive motors. The motors have been replaced and everything works but the system is loaded with water. We have ran about 100 gals of fluid through it and we are still get milky oil. We repaired the problem on how the water got in but would like to find a less expensive and less messy way of getting this under control. Thanks for any help....

The way i have done it was to drain the system while running at idle through the quick couplers. Shut down, change the filter or at the very least drain it. Re-fill with fresh oil. Drive it around, lift and tilt, drain it again. Refil.
There is oil in the hoses, cylinders, motors and pumps. You can't get it all without pulling them out and manually draining them. I found two cycles did my 753.
When its clean, put in a new hydraulic filter though.
