Fluid Level Indicator

[haleswd]

I have a Kubota L2601, grey market tractor. I am changing the hydraulic / transmission fluid for the first time. On the side of the tractor is a 12mm bolt, that when removed, and fluid comes out, the reservoir is full. I think. I probably drained around 7-8 gallons of fluid out. I put 5 gallons back in, and went to loosen the bolt and fluid started draining out. Granted it wasn't fast, but it was there. How am I supposed to know when to stop adding fluid? Any other info would be appreciated.

This is WHY you need to measure how much of Any fluid you drain out... You will at least then know you have replaced the Same amount when you add new.
