I changed all my fluids a couple weeks ago, and didn't notice that there is what looks like a fill (yellow) port for hydraulic oil on the 3 point hydraulic control block located under the seat of my B7100HST, and I find absolutely nothing in my owners manual about this.

I don't see a color marked drain bolt for this component, and this would be also the highest point fill port in the hydraulic system.

Maintenance wise, what should I have done here?

I snagged this photo from google images, but it looks the same as mine.

Absolutely 100% do not mess with that bolt, it's an adjustment for the three point speed, and not a fill port! ;)

Thanks very much, that was a quick reply.

OK, that's very good to know, and glad I overlooked it, otherwise I probably would have removed it. All this time I was looking in the maintenance section.

Now that I know it's for adjusting the 3 pt lowering speed, it's on page 30 in the adjustment section my manual.

Thanks again WM.
