This message has also been posted in "Implement Alley."I have an aftermarket 3 pt hitch on a '52 Super M. I "rebuilt" the two unidentified cylinders by cleaning them along with replacing all of the seals/gaskets, etc. All old hydraulic fluid has been drained and replaced. The question is: before I attempt to crank her up to see if the hydraulics work correctly, should I "prime" the cylinders by adding fluid to both ends of the cylinders first? Or will the fluid make its way into them as I believe it should? Any assistance and/or additional advice is appreciated.

It's not nessary to prime them just fire it up and cycle the cylinders several times. that will remove any air in them.

I would suggest filling both sides of the piston and put as much fluid in the hoses as you can. Since both sides of the piston are a closed system it may take some time to completely get all of the air out of the cylinder bore. Each time that you cycle the cylinder it will get rid of some of the air. It could be a little spongy until all of the air is out of the system. If you have it apart I would go ahead and fill both sides of the cylinder and then put some fluid in the hoses. Just my $0.02 worth.

To me that was certainly more than $0.02 worth. Thank you for the feedback.
