So I have a new Holland backhoe that we boiled the hydraulic fluid in. It had a clogged hydraulic filter, that was causing the fluid to overheat; So as a result, all of the hydraulic cylinders were leaking.
I just changed the seals in the front 4 cylinders, but now I need to move the machine. Should I change the old fluid out now, and put new fluid in before hooking up the front cylinders, or should I use the old fluid in the freshly rebuilt cylinders? Will mixing in any of the old, previously boiled fluid hurt the new fluid? How would I ensure the whole system is empty of the old fluid before adding the new stuff in?
