I have a backhoe on a 56 ihc 330u. Just bought it before winter. two cylinders poured out oil, one was a boom swing so I had the pair rebuilt and new rods, the other was the crowd cylinder, the bore was scratched and rod was bad, the only thing salavaged was the clevis and rod end. Now that I spent major money I will be draining the system adding a filter with bypass gauge and will also be adding a sight glass level/temp gauge in the tank. I have a 20 gph system but I bought a 50 gph filter. they had filters from 3 to 25 microns (I bought 10)What do you recommend? I will change the first filter soon. The second ? is how critical is temp, I was told not to go above 200 degrees, I was also told cold weather (snow removal) can also cause pump problems?

In addition to previous message; The filter in on the return line. I was told to drain the system was to extend everything, shut down motor, drain tank and then open the valves and then let gravity lower the boom, etc., thus draining the other side of the cylinders. Is that the best way?

Very good article, keep them comming, I would like to see where a person could add a filter assembly to a smaller hydraulic system.

What is the procedure for "flushing" the hydraulic cylinders when they're contaminated with water(milky fluid)?
