changing hydraulic fluid on a 1066?
| Reeves | ![]()
Hi, I need to change the hydraulic fluid on my IH 1066 and realized I have absolutely no idea where to first, drain the old fluid from and second, where to add the new stuff. I have uploaded a picture that shows where it seems like it should be drained and added but I really have no idea. There seems to be only one receptacle for adding fluid on the tractor that I can find the capped dipstick in the top middle of the picture and would the reservoir beneath it, bottom middle in pic, also be where to drain it? There is also another tank or reservoir beside the one picture, but nowhere to add anything that I can find. Both bottom tanks have bolts in the bottoms, I assume that are just loosened and the fluid drains out? As you can tell I am not particularly handy with this job but it needs to be done so if someone could run an expert eye over the situation and give me a few tips that would be great. Thanks very much. John

| MGS | What you have pictured there is the engine oil drain and fill. You take the plug out of the bottom of the pan and almost 5 gallons of engine oil will drain out. Put the plug back in and refill with 15W40 engine oil. Be sure to change the filter too. It's the white spin on filter that you can see in the top portion of the picture. The hydraulic fluid drains out of the rear end. There is a plug in the bottom of the rear end housing. Be ready to catch 15 or 20 gallons. There is a filter too. It sounds like you may be in over your head for that part. You might want to pay for a service call and have a tech show you how. Good luck. |
