Jd 510b – checking fluids

Bwar77 ยท 2011-06-21 13:06

Hey guys, When checking hydraulic fluid in my backhoe, should I check it hot or cold? When I do check it hot, it's low on the dipstick, which makes sense as it has a few slow leaks. When I check it cold, shows high on the dipstick. Maybe overfilled? Anyways, just want to make sure which is the correct way to check. Thanks! Brian

    My JD 310D has two marks on the dipstick. The cold mark is lower than the hot mark.
