Remember last week I asked why my hydraulics were slow if they even moved in the -5 degree weather? Today I changed the hydraulic filter. It looked brand new, I've only had the tractor for a year. The fluid however was chocolate milk brown. I lost about a gallon during the filter change, normal. Then I thought I would check the level of the hydraulic fluid. My understanding is there is a plug on the side of transmission (about 3/4") with a 1/4" bolt in it. I have been removing that smaller bolt to check the level periodically. The plug is right underneath the footrest on the clutch pedal side of tractor. Tonight when I open the small bolt, fluid trickled out. I thought OK, I have too much in it. I came back an hour later and it is still trickling, about 2 or more gallons came out (remember I already lost a gallon from the filter change). Overfilled my bucket and got the garage floor of my brand new house covered with brown milk!!!!!! Am I checking the level at the right spot? What are the charateristics of a hydraulic system with too much oil? I was preparing the tractor another round snow coming tomorrow, but now I think I am going to let it sit until I can buy more hy-tran and change it all. Suggestions? Thanks for all your help. PS. I have about 3 manuals for this thing and nothing is where the manual says it should be. I don't have a lever to unbolt on my underside to disable the PTO, it says I do!!

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
