In Reply to: Hydraulic Fluid Change on 316 posted by Dave M on Tuesday, July 08, 2008:
Dave - My old 318, which was similar to your 316, took a little over 5 quarts to fill. It is quite possible, with almost 6 quarts, that it is overfilled. If overfilled, you would not be able to tell with the lighter fluid. Try squeezing the plastic tube just below the sight glass and see if you can tell if there is any fluid movement in the sight glass.
If it is overfilled, you do want to get it to the proper level. You can remove the lower tube from the sight glass to drain out some if needed.
If you have not burped the system, you do so by starting the tractor, and moving the hydro levers on the left of the tractor back and forth and by turning the steering wheel back and forth a few times, with the tractor running but sitting still, for a period of five to ten minutes. Let the tractor sit with the engine off for about ten minutes, and then check the level. It should be at about the half way mark on the sight glass. - Dave
