![]() You have a great opportunity to fix it and found out if your leaks are the result of too much fluid. There may be harm at having it overfilled. There is no harm in having the fluid at the max line. Then screw plug back into hole.īottom line, get some OEM fluid, drain the system to the max line on the dipstick and see if anything gets better or worse. Fill the reservoir until fluid drains out of overfill plug. Same thing on my old 1970 VW manual transmissions. Many reservoirs (like the rear end on my Ingersoll tractor) have a overfill plug. If the dipstick had just a min line, (and they don't) then I would assume overfilling the reservoir was designed into the system by the engineers at the factory. One extra gallon in a 11.1 gallon system may only be 9% over filled, but unless the owners manual states "ignore the max/min lines on the dipstick and just overfill the reservoir" I will assume the max/min lines are on the dipstick for a reason. I drained 1 gallon from the reservoir and the fluid is now at the max level. When my tractor arrived, my reservoir was overfilled. Why not just drain the fluid out until it is at the right level? If overfilling the reservoir was the right thing to do, then why would the engineers put a max/min level on the dipstick? you usually use an extrnal resvior and a pto or crank mounted pump. and there are very few aux hyds use on the 8n/9n/2n anyway. the sump on an 8n holds 5 gallons of diffy/tranny/hyd oil anyway. even when 'new' if oil is left to pool around them. the axle seals and tranny input shaft seal tend to leak. On my old ford's that have a common sump, and not a seperate hyd sump. though less than half of the 48 qt sump that is already there. On my NH 7610s, the manual actually gives an amount of oil, in quarts that you can overfill it to make up for aux hyds. I then take a small file or awl, and scratch a line at this new full level so next time i know where to fill it too. It will typically now show a tad overfull. I refill to full, let settle, then check full again. I extend loader bucket cyls, lift cyls, and any remote cyls. let them settle, and then check for full. your sump is rated for a certain capacity so the oil can cool. I don't like any of my sumps to be 'underfull'.
