Oil & Fuel 2020 Hydraulic Pump Filter?

[bodin1968]

recently changed all of the fluids on the 2020 (hydraulic oil/filter, engine oil/filter, coolant etc.).... i'm having no hydraulic issues w tractor.

should i pull this hyd. pump filter and clean it or leave it alone? thanks in advance....

I would first pull and check/clean the internal sump screen that is in the transmission case. 27 in the drawing

thanks zebra... will i lose much hyd. oil when i pull this screen to clean?

Only about 8 gallons. In lieu of draining the oil one can insert the nozzle on hose of an operating shop vac in hyd filler hole with excess of hole blocked off with a shop towel to create a vacuum.

no thanks. 2020 manual says change Hyd. oil every 1k hours. is this right?

...and the manual says there are 2 hyd. drain plugs? i see one drain plug. is the other hidden by my draw bar?
