Badfish740 said:How about changing fluid? My dad recently picked up a 20 ton Duerr and the procedure for changing the fluid is pretty complicated, calls for draining the system filling with kerosene, draining the kerosene, and then refilling with new fluid making sure to flush all of the kerosene. Is that really necessary? I figured it would be as simple as draining the old fluid, refilling, and changing the filter, sure a little old fluid will remain, but I don't think its a big deal-or is it?

You can mix hydraulic and ATF.I have a 950 Cat loader,the site glass for the hydraulic tank has been sandblasted.The hydraulic fluid is clear and a real groan to see through the glass.So every once in a while when it needs hydraulic fluid,i use a bucket of ATF,that colors the oil and you can see it better.No issues yet have been doing this for years.Works in all temps from hot in summer to cold in winter.
Mix away
