New to the forum, but pretty sure after reading thread 2 below that the hydraulic oil is making it into the engine crankcase. (Back story) The bucket and steering was operating fine, but the hitch was not moving. I noticed the hydraulic fluid in the back end of the tractor was not even touching the dipstick. I added about 3L of fluid which did not even bring it up to the low level. I remembered the 'lowering speed adjustment valve' knob between my knees (when sitting in the seat) and opened that way up.. and it operated fine.
Days later I checked the crankcase oil and it was coming out of the dipstick hole. After seeing this high level of oil I drained it.. and turns out to be 3L.. (similar level to what I had added).
I have run the tractor for about an hour after removing the 3L of fluid from the crankcase, and all the hydraulics work fine. my concern is that if I want to top up the hydraulic again it will dump into the crankcase. Or over time it will leak back to the engine
I see the member Affordable always seems to have the answer. Is the hydraulic fluid getting into the engine through the hydraulic pump? Is this a rebuild or a replacement? Also I am in Canada, can I get these parts here or can they be shipped from the US?
Any help would be great!
