3-Point Hitch MT372 Hydraulic fill

[hickboyy]

I just got one recently and the hydraulic lift acts as if it is low on fluid (Takes a while for the arms to start to move, then they go up slowly at first, then speed up about mid-travel), but I can't seem to find where the fill point is. I understand from another post where the filter is located now, but can anyone shed light on where to pour the oil into?

HB,
First thing when hyd oil is cold it is thick and doen't flow as well as when it is warm. Does this just happen at the begining or all the time?
I have a 370d and the fill point is beside the shifter at about 2 o'clock, but first check the oil level by removing the bolt on the left side of the tractor to see if it needs oil.
If the level is ok, I would first change the fluid and clean the filter. Then if the problem is still there maybe in the pump.

Thanks for the info, which leads me to the next question: Where is the filter?

On my 370D the filter is on the left side, right in front of the rear axle. I remove the rear tire to allow for easier access. satohparts.com has a very good drawing of this.
