ford 640 hydraulics

Just changed my hydraulics-- need to bleed the system but don"t know how-- where is the bleed valve (maybe i need a manual) thanks

Assuming you have the piston style pump there is a plug on the front of the pump that can be removed to bleed the system. If the plug cannot be removed try a little air pressure applied at the hydraulic dipstick tube.

Yes.. you need a manual.. full of good things.

and yes.. the plug is the front / top side of the pump.. might be inverted hex.. etc..

I just did that on my 640 and Soundguy has given you good info. If you look at the pump you'll see the plug right where he told you. You may want to put a pan under it before you loosen the plug so you don't end up with a huge puddle of fluid on the floor..........experience speaking here. I ended up with the plug in my hand and the pump working just great.....arghhhhhh!!
