What type of hydro fluid do you all use?
Mine appears to have gotten water in it and is grey as a battleship.
Having issues with the pump also. It’s pushing air when I crack the hose at the end. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA

I use the universal hydraulic oil from TSC. I’d probably start with a drain and refill and then figure out if you still have a pump problem but others may have a more informed opinion.

I use a hydraulic fluid that meets 821 specs in all my tractors, simply so I only have to keep one jug in stock. It's a little more expensive, but easier.

From the rear hydraulic fitting? Confused about where you seeing these air bubbles from. I use Fram in a 5 gal bucket from Carquest, 821 approved.

any "good quality" hydraulic / transmission fluid would be fine.. There should be a list on the bucket of what "SPECS" it meets... If it has no spec, dont buy it.. If it is GOOD OIL it will have 10 - 30 specs listed... CAT, IH, CASE, AC, FORD... etc.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
