[Roy royson]

Hi all I've just had the rams on the fel rebuilt,I topped up oil did what work needed doing and came back and the oil was under the sight glass again and hydraulics are super jumpy now on up and open on fel and 4in1,close and down are smooth but im wondering if if stuffed something with low oil or its just some else broke coincidentally?any id3as would be great
Cheers roy

You did have to fill the cylinders with oil from the sump. Add correct oil to fill line and see how it works and if it stays full. You can park on concrete or plywood and operate tractor to see if it is pumping out fluid. Leave parked overnight to see if it is leaking slowly (which it probably is).

Have you run the cylinders in and out to max to get all the air out?

Yeah I did cycle them quite a few times but hasn't seemed to help yet,I have made sure the oil was topped up again too

Do you mean fill the cylinders before installing?,or do you mean it will fill with use but from the transmission sump?

No you fill them with fluid as you use them, thus depleting the sump of some of the oil. It is a minor amount of oil but possibly enough to get below the sight glass.

Sorry for the confusion

Muchly appreciate all the advice guys,I usually overthink everything so i was concerned about breaking something else but everything is working beautifully now
