I have a 1964 4000 ford when the tractor is started the engine has to run three or four minutes before the lift will raise can someone tell me if the oil in the differial and transmission is the same as the hydraulic Is there a hydraulic filter for the lift? This tractor is forty years old and the hydraulic oil has never been changed to the best of my knowledge.If the hydraulic is different from the trans and diff where do you drain it? I need to know how to change the hydraulic oil and the type of oil to use

If it has hydraulic oil in it, and is taking that long to prime it"s time to take the pump off and get it rebuilt. Depending on which shaft and bearing it has (may have been lots of fingers in there between new and you) it should run you about $250 parts and labor. As long as you aren"t paying "learning" time for the mechanic.

Jack,

The '64 4000 is basically the same as an 801. It has three reservoirs: transmission, hydraulics and differential. (If you have a row crop, it also has reservoirs for the two final drives.)

The original recommendation was to use hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic reservoir, and 90 wt gear oil in the transmission and differential. Problem is, the gear oil can get past the seals and contaminate the hydraulic fluid. So the current recommendation is to use New Holland 134 hydraulic oil in all three reservoirs. So drain them all out and refill with 134.

The transmission is filled from the top (right by the gear shift lever), and has a level plug in the side (I forget which side).

The transmission reservoir is filled from a plug under the seat. There is a dip stick on the left hand side of the tractor.

The differential is filled from a plug behind the seat. There is a level plug on (I think) the left hand side of the differential.

You shouldn't have any trouble finding the three drain plugs under the tractor. Just be sure and drain/refill all three reservoirs.

Any more questions, just put them on the Ford board.

On our 1961 851, there is a small dipstick near your left heel. Fill port right behind seat at high point of differential case; Forget where the drain is but look low. Check the manual , but if I remember correctly the trans, differential & hydraulics all together-hence use hy-tran style fluid. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here cause I was too lazy to dig out the manual. The late 851 & 4-cyl 4000 are about the same except for color.
