Where was your broken line? How much fluid did you lose?

Was it working before you lost fluid? How long did you run it after you lost fluid? How full did you refill it after repair? Im not sure where the pump is on yours, but on my 7520 it is above the surface of the normal oil level. You may have to overfill to get it to prime.

Make sure you put enough fluid in the system. I ran a stick through one of those rubber hoses on the filter canister not long after I got my 4110, which is the same basic unit as the 3510 gear with bigger tires and more HP. I did a hydro fluid and filter change two days ago, took nearly ten gallons of fluid.

If you don't have enough fluid your loader won't work, and since the PTO has a hydraulic clutch it won't work. The fluid level should be checked with the 3 pt lowered, as well as the loader.

There is a fluid level dipstick on the top of the left rear axil housing, in case you didn't know.

It takes an awfully lot of Hy-Trans before you get that dipstick wet. I think people underestimate how much fluid it takes, since you are draining from a low point you will pull fluid out of the cylinders on the loader, etc.
