Keep the story short but i am restoring a farmall 1066. I am at the point of the hydraulics/fluid for this system (steering, brakes, arms, remotes)
The tractor has been stored inside, out of weather for years. Last service was 1990. The fluid looks clean and clear. I am going to remove the fluid and go through the MCV, replace the hydraulic filter, and replace the transmission brake.
Now, do i replace the fluid...expensive for 25 gal of hytrans...
OR do i use the fluid that is still in it and add new hytrans (less than 5 gal) to top off that it needs? Thoughts?
New to the forum, long time lurker and appreciate all info i have received but this is a topic that i have not seen before through searching.
