I just changed the hydraulic fluid and filter on my '89 JD 316. It took me awhile to find the filter location. I drained out about 5.5 or so quarts of what appeared to be AT fluid, that is, it was reddish in color, clean, and not burnt. I was told when I bought this tractor that it had all services done at the dealer. The JD fluid I put back in was more of a blonde color. The problem is this, I can't see the fluid in the rear sight glass. I put nearly 6 quarts back in, trying to bring the level up so I could see it in the sight the glass. There is no dipstick to measure amount of fluid, just a fill tube. Is there a "bleed" method when changing fluid? Is there a danger in overfilling the trans/hydraulic system? Is it possible the fluid is in the sight glass but I can't see it because of its lighter color? The hydraulics all seem to be working okay after the fluid change. Any thoughts are appreciated.
