bleeding air hydraulic system

Ranch Hand ยท 2010-08-04 09:29

I have a JD 160LC that sprung a leak from the oil radiator. My brother and I took it off and sent it in to the welding shop. When we reinstall it how would we go about bleeding the air from the system?

    Not a John Deere man, but unless they're weird just fill oil tank, crank it up and let it idle a few minutes, shut it off and check hyd. oil, crank it up and move everything through the full range of motion, check oil again,then run it conservatively the first 5 minutes good luck
