The original subject was "Help with year model". 3 point hitch will not work. Any idea where to find a break down for the seals ect? I believe the pump is working because when you actuate the handle the external hose moves but the lift does not. [Reply]   [No Email]

The hydraulic on a Dexta is under the top cover. About a one hour job to change the filter, and two if you let the fluid drain. Takes longer to take the seat off than the cover. Do mine @ every three years now, put a new filter in. Located on R/S tube from housing under top cover- you can see with top off. Once top is off; loosen one bolt that holds tube, screw replaceable filter (@ $15) and (@ 5 Gl fluid). Replace tube. I filled mine by dumping it in to check plug level-then put the top cover back on. Use a cherry picker at seat bolt to lift. on scale 1-10 (10=hard), this is a 4. Wayne   [Reply]  [No Email]

I know where the fill plug is but haven"t been able to tell about the level plug. Thanks for the other information.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The actual fill plug is close to the same height as the cover on the system. If you filled it to that level it would be to the top, therefore over serviced. I"m looking for the location of the "check level" plug.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It is a square plug. Do not remove the hex head bolt on the right hand side, it holds the oil filter on and you will have to take the cover off to replace the nut on the end of that bolt.

It's made of a round metal [can-like]with a screen inside that was plugged by sludge. Check there to see if that's it.   [Reply]  [No Email]
