Hydraulic oil filters

Posted by Tyler(WA) on June 23, 2000 at 08:03:32 from (12.13.226.14):

I have a MF2135 with a MF99 front end loader. The loader is opperated off a front mount pump. The existing setup has no filters and the fill cap is a pipe cap with a small hole to allow it to breath. The oil is looking pretty dirty.

I want to clean the system, replace the hydraulic oil with clean stuff and install filters on the reservoir and the fill cap. Fill cap? A "no-brainer" (buy a replacement cap with a filter) but there are a few models of return line filters and I'm not sure which one I need. I plan to buy from Northern Hydraulic Equipment.

There appears to be only one large (1.5"?) hose to the bottom of my reservoir. It does look like there is a tank screen to trap large debris. I assume fluid flows both directions in that large line.

Another question - What solvent should I use to clean out the tank debris? If I use diesel, would I have to dry out the tank prior to refilling it with hyd. oil?
