I put 2 gallons of gas in hydraulic oil. I'm on my third flush. This time I decided to use gravity to get some oil out of cylinders. I used outriggers to lift rear wheels, put jack stands under tractor, then raised outriggers. Curled front bucket and raised it all the way. Extended rear boom and curled rear bucket too. After draining oil, I had someone move the controls while I pulled down of buckets. Pushed down on outriggers and more oil drained out tank. Same when I dumped front bucket, lowered loader arms, moved rear bucket and boom. Then I removed filter and moved all control levers again. That helped drain some of the hoses back to tank. Wish I had thought of this earlier. I think this flush may be my last for a while. Will leave fill cap off and covered with a rag to let fumes out and keep dirt from getting in.
Good news is no major damage. I have a couple of cylinders that are leaking around the rod, but that's normal. If my 12 cylinders don't leak today, good chance they will leak tomorrow. There is really only 2 o-rings at rod end that are problematic. The rest of the o-rings in cylinder don't need replaced, they rarely wear out. I do most of my cylinder work. Really doesn't take that long.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
