When I bought my 69 4000 and drained the oil from the rear end and a bunch of water and a bunch of oil out of it. I overfilled my drain buckets and made such a big mess on the shop floor. I read on tractordata.com the hydraulics take 8.4 gallons so that's what I put in mine and everything seems to work ok.
Today my neighbor called wondering how much oil his 4000 takes in the hydraulics. He said he drained out about 12 gallons of oil and it was really clean looking oil..no water or milkyness. His tractor is a 1966-67 we think.
So what is the correct amount of hydraulic oil these beasts should take? Both of our tractors don't have a side level plug like we're used to seeing
