580C fluid check

jw3 ยท 2013-09-29 20:18

Is the. 580C like automobiles when checking the transmission fluid level ? Does it need to be running and in neutral when checking fluid level? I am bring the machine back from many years of sitting. After several small repairs, repacking cylinders, brake re work, power steering pump reseal, I think I am close to putting the old girl back to work. Can any of y'all think of anything else that needs to be checked or done. Thanks men for your help.

    Yes, the engine must be idling, to check the shuttle oil level. FNR lever in neutral.

    Thanks airman. I thought that was right but I couldn't be for certain.
