Hydraulic filling

Postby David Coppola » Wed May 16, 2012 8:11 am

When refilling the hydraulic system on my 51 Cub, do you fill it through the big plug near the top of the resiviour and is there a full plug like on the trans? I can't seem to find this in my manual. Thanks, David

Fill through the plug near the top of the reservoir. There is no full plug.

The fill plug is the full plug. with the lever all the way back (implement down) it should be filled till it just starts to trickle back out. If it has gotten so low it was not lifting right, then screw the cap back in loosely and work the lever several times and recheck level. A funnel with a long flexible spout is handy for all that, but be sure to have a spill pan under it.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Here are the pages from the manual that should help.

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Same directions as previously provided. Be sure to install the hydraulic pump, lines, and manifold before filling the reservoir.

I've tried several methods to fill the touch control. Currently I have one of these in a gallon jug of hydraulic fluid. It works great but is slow to drain the hose after you stop pumping. Filling from empty would take 56 pumps at one ounce per pump.

Just like getting ketchup at Hardees.

I have an empty gear oil bottle with the pointed top that I cleaned out. I fill it with hyd. fluid and squeeze it in as needed.

This funnel is the best thing ive found to do it. You can get it at Wal Mart for about 3 bucks. It has a handle so you dont drop it, a on/ off action so you can fill it then transport it cleanly and fill it with out spilling it oall over your tractor, and the long flexible hose easily reached that pesky plug in the bad place.
