2-110 air in hydraulic lines? How to bleed?

diamondebulls · Jun 25, 2015

I'm needing some input on my 2-110 white, last night I changed all my filters and now my hydraulics aren't working properly. At first after starting it back up it wouldn't lift the 3 point up or down, now its working but not as smooth and its whining like pump is starving, and hydraulic fill cap when I take it off looks like its getting hot and has air bubbles in it. I also opened the wing nut bleeder valve on top of hydraulic filter and nothing comes out and it whines louder when its open. I only filled the filter about half way full of hydraulic fluid when I put the new one on. Any suggestions? I'm planning on mowing hay tomorrow and need to get if figured out as soon as I can. Thanks for any help!

The filter is on the suction side of the pump so opening the bleeder will make it suck air, if I'm correct. Normally if you cycle all functions the air will bleed out and it will be OK. There may be some foaming as the air comes out, but that should subside with time.

Look at it again this morning. The air should have settled out overnight, recheck the level. If the bleeder is below the oil level, air should come out with the pump stopped.

I agree with Russ. Just run it through the cycles it should bleed itself.

Open the bleeder with the engine off until oil flows out. Close it, and then start engine. Should be back to normal.

That did work and hydraulics are back to normal, havent had many opportunities to mow hay with all the rain so I got a little nervous there. But thank you guys for the quick responses and info!
