560 help, Thanks

[UncleBubb*IH]

I finally got started on the 301 for our 560, the tractor has been sitting in a corn crib for about 15 years. I need to know if the hydraulic system will have any problems through condenstaion and so on, it hasnt been open, its all tight, what should I expect?

I would drain flush and new filter after that many years of setting.

What would you recomend for flushing.

Diesel fuel is what I used but that stuff is expensive to use now.Pour it in where you add the hydraulic fluid at least 5 or more gallon and rock the tractor back and forth and slosh it around in the transmission and drain it.
