[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 29243, member: 307"] Bobbie If you lift the loader all the way up, shut down the engine then fully lower the boom (likely can only be done if you have foot pedal controls, not sjc option) it will drain the lift cylinders. If your not going to drain them make sure all cylinders have the rods fully retracted as that side of the cylinders have a lower internal volume. Corey The skidsteers pump won't suck oil through the auxilary couplers, that whole loop is under pressure. The only way to use the loaders pump to pump it in would be to connect a temporary tank to the inlet side of your hydraulic pump and dump your new oil in there. The machine would then suck it in and return it to its tank. I guess you could put a shutoff valve in the suction to the pump and then T a new suction line out the side between the pump and valve and stick it in your oil pail to suck the oil in. When its full, you would open the 1st valve and cap the extra line. The Morgan hydrostatic skidders where setup with a extra pump and reservoir, you dump the new oil in the tank then the machine pumped it through a filter into the hydraulic system, a preventative measure to keep the system clean. If you had a separate hydraulic pump and reservoir you could pump it in through the aux from another machine or hydraulic press pump etc. How come it is so slow to just pour it in the machine, poor design or?
