vito.a Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It is the hydraulic reservoir dip stick. The hydraulic system runs both the power steering and the engine cooling fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He meant that system gets the least amount of attention (serviced, change fluid) on a Diesel Pusher in his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I had the three Nelson filters replaced back in June 2017 and fluid replaced when I had the TRW steering box installed in place of the Sheppard box. The filters had never been changed nor was the fluid. Since the system had never had a problem or opened up I didn't expect to see significant aging on the filters and fluid which there wasn't. So the old filters and fluid were 16 years old with no plans to change them out again unless I have a problem where the system has to be opened up.

Pepperell Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hydraulic fluid often gets contaminated by water on farm equipment. Farmers will put the waterlogged fluid in an outdoor turkey fryer and cook it at a little over 212F until the water boils off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
