I have a A C 5015 where the trans/hyd. are 1 system. they are contaminated with water, I've replaced the fluids and filter but still need to flush the system better, is there some kind of flush I can add to the system before draining the fluid again??

I,ve heard diesel fuel works , add some run it a little , pull the plugs and let it set a day to all drain out , never tried it but I think it would work

Gatordoc, do you just put some in and run it like you would with diesel? How long?

I cleaned a case loader trans with a blown trans cooler i filled it with 50/50 fuel and oil and ran it 10 min and drained and then did the same with ATF

Be sure to run hyd functions when running to flush any cyls. and valves
