560 - Mixed Hydraulic Fluid

Posted by Bob on March 02, 2002 at 11:03:11 from (206.191.194.148):

I mistakenly add about 1 gallon of “AW 46 Hydraulic Fluid” to the hydraulic system of my 560. I should have used “Hy-Tran” fluid. Sounds like the 560 hydraulic system holds a total of 16 gallons total. So, the tractor is sitting with a 15 to 1 mix of hydraulic fluids. Will I be okay or do I need to drain all the hydraulic fluid and replace with “Hy-Tran”?

I was looking through some of the other past comments, pertaining to hydraulic, and it sounds like there are several drain plugs. Do they have specific purposes or when draining the hydraulics… just open them all up?

Also, what is the recommended crank case oil for the 560 and how often should it be changed?

I appreciate any and all advice!
