Hydro Fluid for a 1720

[Soundguy]

Is there a paper filter in that system? It's not cord threads from a hose or seal packing right?

That red fluid from your importer reminds me of a idscussion a few weeks ago...

There isn't an external filter. There is way too much for a hose etc. I pulled gunk out of the screen hole for a long time with a rag on a wire, before I flushed it and refilled.

Never know how long its been there.. I've disassembled some hydro systems on our heavy rollers at work ( hydro steering ) and found reminants of bias plied hoses from early 70's in the sump tank, where the suction line colapsed the hoses and then sucked them up into the steering valves... very surprising the amount of material inthere. Also very surprising how long it took to clean the hundreds of little passage ways out of that steering valve using a piece of fine copper wire..

Good luck!
