New to site & tractors

[davenoon53]

Hi, I acquired a Satoh S-370-D but know very little about tractors.
The hydraulic valve sometimes spurts oil out of a central port. I ypthink it might be pressure relief but not sure.
Also, since it has lost some oil I should check the reservoir.
1. Where is the reservoir?
2. What oil should I use?
Appreciate any help.

:welcome:
To the TBN forum Dave. You came to the right place to get answers.

Since I do not know anything about that tractor, I can't help but someone will be along soon who can. Enjoy the site.

The gearcase hydraulic oil should be utf. Check for level by opening up a little plug on the left side of the case.

Thank you Skylarkguy. Where is the oil reservoir?
