Zetor 5211 hydraulic fluid

[tom_n_ms]

Saw one drain near where the center pull hitch attaches. Is this the only drain for the hyd. Fluid? What kind does it take and how much? Thanks

Found in the book where it takes 25 gallons of 80w90 hydraulic oil BUT still need to know if there is only one drain for the hyd. system. Oil level is now about halfway between marks-looks a little milky, not real bad..Could water inn the hyd system cause it to drop 10" the go up constantly while transporting a heavy back blade??Thanks

Hi
There are one drain under the gearbox and the one under the pumpplate that you found,and it does take more like 25 LITERS not galons. Use a universal agri oil. It is more likely that the 3pt drops due to worn out seals in the lift ram then a litle water in the oil. Take a few minits and seartc the forum, there are meny posts on this.

Thanks---glad you said something--looked in the book again and it does say (in quarts) so 26 quarts it way better than gallons.This rig has sat a lot-bought new in '93 by the company where I have worked for over 36 yrs..it has less than 300 hours on the meter..Prob time and age has got to the main lift seal. Thanks again.
