[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 9670, member: 897"] Thanks for the tip! [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG] I just got back home from an engine/hydrostatic install. The hydraulics were not totally drained but had significant air in the system. We blocked the machine up off the floor pulled the sticks forward and turned the wheels until we has so much pressure two of us couldn't turn them. When we fired the engine we had instant drive power and upon cycling the lift/tilt two complete cycles there was almost no noise in the hydraulics at all. There is still some foam in the hydraulic tank so there is still a little air in the system but not enough to affect operation. [/QUOTE]
