M hydraulic capacity

[timberbeast]

I bought a M last fall with a stuck motor. I got her freed up. Its got live hydraulics and a Douall loader. Im not sure where the level should be. It is plumbed from the loader frame to the belly pump then to the live pump. My question is should it be in the loader tube?

Yep,the belly pump doesnt have enough oil capacity,so they are useing the frame as the reservoir.

Belly pump only holds about 6qts IIRC from factory. Yours will probably take a little more as its probably been gutted. Loader should have at least 5 gallons.
