[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 120706, member: 7474"] The oil is basically stagnant in the auxiliary lines since it has not circulated for about 30 years. When the hydraulic oil is changed in a machine there is no way to get the oil out of the lines, pumps and cylinders unless you remove them or open them up. Even if the oil technically isn’t “dirty”, it could have collected moisture and is way past it’s usable, and shelf, life. The oil in the used parts of the machine circulate, to a point, when the cylinders move back and forth and when the relief valves activate. The motors do circulate oil when operated. Some mechanics actually use the auxiliaries to remove the old oil for maintenance since you can get more oil out of the machine this way ( let’s not start arguments weather this method is right or wrong ). In this case the auxiliary lockout bolt was still in place so the oil in those lines is going to be very old. [/QUOTE]
