How do i get ???????????

ya gotta bite the bullet and get new once it is contaminated, its gone, no sense in reusing it, you are going to have some residual in the system as it is,,

I know its a hard hit,, but..... most of us have been there [at least once] good luck, pat
 
Put it a container that hold it all then let it sit for a long time keep watch on it the oil will separate an come to the top.
Then skim it off or let the water out of the bottom.

PS all mispeeled works and puntuation marks are intentional?
 
Bad news is, you need to flush out the system with new oil, get the residual water out, toss that out too and go with new oil again to do a _good_ job of this. Not saying many do that, but it would be the best way.

You can let it settle out, but it will never be what it should be. Depends if this is a tractor you want to trade off this fall, or had down to your kids type of thing.....

Setteling will get out the amounts of oil that the water suspension additives will not hold, but I am not sure you can get it all out. hydraulic pumps are not cheap.
 
I know hydraulic oil is expensive, but I just don't think that it's worth the risk to try to reuse it. I had to change out some oil this spring in a tractor, but it was worth the cost. As the previous poster said, pumps are much more expensive than oil.
 
Wesley, yes it is expensive but compaired to gas or fuel it's not that bad. I bought six gallons of 90 wt GL-1 for $5.85 per gallon for my 8N. Agri Supply sent a updated catalog and it had already went up. Gears cost a lot more than the oil. PLUS labor. David....
 
I'll have to agree with you on that. Our old MF 175 was giving lift trouble this spring and I found a little water in the hyd. oil. With some fresh oil, it performed better than it had in years. I don't know how old the oil is in the original poster's tractor, but hydraulic oil changes tend to be overlooked and they can make a lot of difference.
 
Drain it into a bucket, cover and set aside. Water will precipitate out of the oil. Next winter set the bucket outside and let the water freeze, dump the oil through a couple layers of clean white cloth (old tee shirt) into a clean bucket. Good for flushing a system next time, probably not the best for long term working oil though.

You can drain the oil in there that has water in it but it won't get all the water out. Buy some Sea Foam transmission additive, pour it in the hydraulic oil and run the tractor enough to get the hydraulic oil up to temp. Then drain the system and the Sea Foam will collect/suspend the water in the oil and will all drain out. Then put in new hydraulic oil.
 
I was checking oil on a tractor yesterday that had been sitting for two days. When I removed the level plug for the PTO good looking oil came out. So I removed the drain plug to see how the bottom oil looked. I got a few drops of water followed by milky oil. I let the milky oil trickle out for a half hour by leaving the plug loose, finally it cleared up.It looks to me like given time it does separate.
 
One other note, if you work your tractors hard and frequently the oil tends to heat up and drive out moisture from condensation.

This obviously doesn't happen until the whole tranny and reservoir get pretty hot.
 
Use Hy-Tran. It is designed to hold a certain % of water. The old IH engineers were pretty crafty. Then when you change the oil, you get it out. This cheap yellow bucket oil doesn't have the additive package that it needs to keep stuff from wearing.
 
(quoted from post at 02:12:41 07/08/08) Water out of hydraulic fluid? or do i throw it away and start over.
Click to expand...

I have a 15 gallon drum that I use if I need to seperate water and oil,I only use it in a waste oil burner though.I have the barrel laying on it's side with the small bung hole on the bottom and a petcock in it.The large hole is on top with a ninety degree L pointed up.I put a funnel in the L,dump the oil in the barrel and let it sit for a few days,then I drain off the water until I start getting oil,then I put the remaining oil in the waste oil tank.
 
I work in a place that gets plenty hot. I put the oil "upstairs" and let it settle out for a day, then moved it outside in 8 degree weather and let the water freeze. Worked pretty good, but I ended up recycling the stuff anyway cause in the end I could not justify the gamble.

The pump cost ~$200 to repair and it was the water in the oil that destroyed the pump and rear carrier bearings.

Just my $0,000,000.02

I save most of my drained hydraulic oil in 5 gallon oil buckets and let the water settle out for months. Then I pour the top half of the settled oil into a marked, clean 5 gallon container. I then pour the second half until it starts looking contaminated. The last part of contaminated oil and water gets used to settle road dust when it is needed.

I have had good luck using the recycled oil in my tractors. It can be tested by putting some on a hot exhaust manifold. If it just smokes, it is OK. If it sizzles, it still has water in it.

I tried freezing the water in the bottom of a settled out 5 gallon bucket. It worked, but it took quite awhile for it to pour out, since the oil was also very cold and thick. I think my way is easier.

There are 4 or 5 buckets of hydraulic oil settling out in my garage, and a couple of buckets of oil that I have already reclaimed. Probably a pretty good time to do some pouring, glad you reminded me I need to do that. And the road is dusty!
