markd Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 my 560 has a factory bucket loader and I have a growling that sounds like a need for oil, the only place that I can find to add hydraulic oil is on the floor by the shifter and I can see what looks like rear end gears any ideas?

iowaboy1965 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hydraulic fluid storage is the transmission/rear end case. The others are telling you like it is. Fill it thru the top until it is even with the check plug on side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfred54 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Maybe its time to change the oil and filter. How long since fluid has been changed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the oil is so bad that it's causing this "growling" the damage is already done. It needs a pump along with an oil change, at the very least.

My thought is the oil is probably 40 years old maybe more, why not change it and the filter. Have seen pretty nasty gunk for oil come out of some of these old tractors and the pump has been screaming for oil and they still work with new oil. Believe it well worth a try😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyfarm Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I would change the filter. It could be plugged with gunk from condensation etc. I learned this lesson on my 656 awhile back. New filter problem solved for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
