Need help on changing the hydraulic fluid in the Shibaura 2803. Here are my questions.
1. Is there a hydarulic filter?
2. Is there a dip stick to check the fluid level?
3. Where is the location of the fluid drain plug(s)?
4. What is the location of the fill port?

I have a corresponding ford operator's manual but it is not very clear to me about the above information. I would rather be sure than make a big mistake.
I do see a dip stick on the floor area between the operators leg but am not sure what fluid it is (smells like engine oil). There is also what appears to be a fill plug in the rear of the tractor behind the operator's seat. Your help os greatly appreciated.

1. Yes, usually located on top of the pump or just in front. It is a cleanable screen
2. In front of the shift levers below the steering wheel
3. Bottom side of the transmission
4. behind operator’s seat

The transmission is the hydraulic reservoir. Replace with "universal tractor fluid" JD303 or equivalent.
