Likely spots for air in 180 hydraulic system

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Our 180 has a problem with air in the hydraulic system, the fluid level is good but every now and then everything will stop working, the loader, three point, remotes, power steering...

I have a feeling it's air in the system getting into the suction line before the pump, eventually after sitting a while it will begin to work correctly again and we won't see the problem for days or weeks. 

Anyone want to guess what's going on? 

Thanks!
