Flushing out Hydraulics????

[redrocket]

I am in the process of rebuilding a 1996 763 (F-Series). The engine is in the frame and is in the process of being hooked up to everything. I was wondering if it was possible to flush out the hydraulic system so I will be certian their are not contaminants to interfer with the operation of the machine. If their is a way can someone please explain it to me. thanks

The only real way is to remove all the hydraulics and drain them, as thats not an option all you can do is remove a few hoses and drain as much as you can. If the system has not been opened when you were doing repairs i'd just drain as much oil as you can and replace the filter and top the system up.
