M5030 hydraulic fluid change

[Elmark1]

Some friends came over and drained my hydraulic fluid due to water in the fuild, (milky), and refilled with 12 gallons of new fluid. But now my front end loader does not work. What do we need to do to get it working again? Bleed the system? If so, how?

Does the loader move at all? Sometimes just cycling the loader joystick around enough it will bleed the air out and get things going again.

I have seen some tractors have to run 10 to 15 minutes at half throttle before all the air is gone from the system. I agree with Eric, cycle the joystick for ther loader and have the engine at about 1200 - 1400 rpm's.

My first 9000 lost the steering when I serviced it @ 50hr point. After 10 -15 minutes it came back and was fine.
