To flush or not to flush!

Posted by Ralphwd45 on October 24, 2020 at 22:40:06 from (71.161.78.85):

I took the old 335 moline, out of the shed, today, to use the FEL, and it seemed to need hydraulic oil, to reach high enough. I retracted all 4 cylinders, shut it off, and removed the check plug. Sure enough it was low on fluid. when filling it bsck up, I overfilled it, and oil started running out of the check plug hole.the oil coming out had a lot of water in it, according to the milky white color' I went ahead and used the tractor, to get the lifting done, that I needed, and everything worked like normal. I don't want to leave that water in there, and am going to change the fluid, (It is draining as I write this) I kind of want to pour 5 gallon of diesel fuel in, and cycle the cylinders and pump , to remove as much moisture, as possible, before refilling with new hydraulic fluid. With winter fast approaching, I am sure It will start drawing new condensation. Would you folks bother with the diesel fuel flush, or not? I am not wealthy, but don't mind the wasted diesel.
