Wes I would drain the old oil out. Then refill it with 2 qtrs. of new oil and fill up with K-1. Start the tractor and let it run at low idle until the water temperature comes up to the operating range. Shut it off and drain it hot. IF it looks like most of the gunk is gone than change the filter and install your new detergent oil. IF it still looks a little dirty then just flush it out again with new oil and K-1.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
