Thanks guys, you do make me feel better, it has got to get full sometime, I was thinking somehow the hydro system was burning it, I know that is impossible, even if the fluid did smell burn, which it does not, there is no way with those few of hours that it could be burning it. I have been around tractors and mechanics my entire life, it just has to get full sooner or later!

I only use it as a loader tractor and that is not much & also to get about 10 ditch bails in from our property frontage once a year.

I just did a major overhaul on the tractor 5 years ago, the overhaul has 200 hours on it. It is not going into the oil pan, I check that everytime I start it. It acually uses a teeny bit of engine oil.

I also check the Radiator each time, and it also is not going in there.

It does not smoke, and I guess even if it was going into the exhaust it would be running down the side, that also is not the case.

My only thought was that it was going into another case such as the rearend, but as I mentioned, according to the book, the hydros have the transmission, hydro system & rearend all in one unit holding 24 gallons. And there is no place I can see to the rear of the tractor where there could be another case filling up. I was half hoping someone would mention that!

There are no leaks, I have let it run many times and crawled all over underneith, also have had my wife use all the hydraulics while I look underneith in case of a pressure hose spraying outward. It always sits in the same place in my machine shed when not in use so I would see if it were leaking while sitting.

It really is strange, I was worried if another compartment was filling up, such as the rear end or transmission that I would get back contamination & ruin the hydro, but if all 3 run under the same fluid, I have no other choice but to not worry about it, it is always locked in my shed and besides it would be nearly impossible for someone to be stealing that kind of fluid out of the little entrence hole. Unless they were draining it out the bottom. It wouldnt be impossible for someone to get in the shed I guess! Maybe I"ll set up something that would show if someone is tampering with it that they would not notice.

I also have gas & fuel tanks in the same shed & they would certainly steal that before the hydro fluid unless someone is playing a prank on me, and after this long that would have to be getting old for someone to be doing also!

Hopefully it will get full soon, I have to assume it is just low and will sooner or later fill up, I guess I have know other choice!

Thanks for the replys, if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to chime in! This really is one of the strangest things I have ever come across! DK.
