I just got a TO35. I ordered manuals the day after I got it but they have not yet arrived. So unless someone can lend a hand, my tractor will sit where I turned it off until the manuals arrive.Here's the problem, the tractor has power steering and leaks from the steering box, the steering began to make a little noise so I decided to check the fluid. I located the power steering pump on the left side of the engine, it is topped by a large canister with a nut on top of it. Just forward there is what looks like a fluid reservoir with a screw off cap. I remove this cap and found no fluid. So I searched this site and concluded that I should put 90 wt gear oil in the power steering. After putting about 1.5 quarts of gear oil/hydraulic fluid into this reservoir, there is still no visible fluid. Wondering, I looked around and got a sinking feeling that perhaps I have been pouring gear oil into the engine crankcase! I pulled the engine oil dip stick, and it seems to read above full! Did I pour the gear oil into the engine crankcase? If so I guess I'll need to drain the crank case and refill, how much does it take without changing the filter? If the above is correct, how do I check the power steering fluid?
