changing hydraulic oil on 1982 3cx

[Whitecab jockey]

Hi everybody,
Need some advice regarding maintenance of the hydraulics on my 3cx. I am looking to change the hydraulic oil clean the filter. can i crowd the bucket to enable me to get under the cx then open the drain plug or is it best to leave 4:1 on ground. ive got two side entry circle plates on either side of the hydraulic tank is where i gain access to filter ? first time attempting this job so not sure what i will find are there any other filters which should be changed or cleaned.

many thanks

Welcome Mitch
Start with the closest manual you can find (mine is sufficiently different not to be helpful)
app.php/dl_ext/?cat=5

If the oil is long overdue, there will be a lot of sludge in the bottom of the tank you'll want to mop out as well as changing the filters
