    Spewing Hydraulic Fluid

    The fluid does not only spew when the arms are up. It also spews when I park and relieve pressure on attachments, i.e. buck is down and blade is down and engine has just been turned off the fluid still spews for a minute.

    Spewing Hydraulic Fluid

    The fluid has no air and does not appear to be hot as it does not steam in this cold weather so oozes out of vent and runs down back end. Next when it happens I will feel it for temperature but I'm sure it is not hot

    B7200 with Hydraulic Problems

    You are quite right. The first hydraulic oil change I used NPAP fluid. For this last oil change I used "RP oil API GL-4 from CRS Petroleum. Both I believe to be good quality UDT oil.

    I have recently changed the UDT and cleaned the strainers. The UDT has been sitting for about 6 months unopened and should not be contaminated and is, I believe good quality from NAPA. Once I changed the fluid I thought the problem was fixed but after running the tractor the second time it...

    B7200 HST, 1640 Loader Lift and Bucket Cylinder PN

    Just a note about the gouge in your cylinder. This may have been caused by the bucket stop (small steel block) that is attached to the loader forearm.
