[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 29204, member: 82"] Sounds like a plan. But you may need to do it a few times. I personally drain the oil from the aux hydraulics. Run the machine at idle, operate the aux hydraulics still it starts to spit out air, shut down. Re-fill, drain/swap the main filter then run it. You may need to do that a few times though to get it all clean. I had to do that about 3 or 4 times on a 753 i had with water in the oil before i was happy with the colour. Find where water got in too, there should be a rubber gasket on the filler and breather caps. I wouldn't be too worried about the case drain filters, they pick up particles, not water. You should get away with opening them and cleaning out the brass filter and re-assembling them. I think they are around $50 each, your call though. Good luck, but you NEED that water out, which you know. Fully stroke your rams multiple times while driving around, get the fresh oil EVERYWHERE you can, then drain and repeat till the colour is good. [/QUOTE]
