Case David Brown 1290 Help required

bullraiser · Post #1 by **bullraiser** » Tue May 22, 2012 7:39 am

I have recently bought this tractor and it has a few mods so I am trying to figure out where to put the hydraulic oil as I can't see a filler bung. A hydraulic fitting is attached, could be the dump, so I am thinking I will remove it and chuck some oil in see if the level on the dipstick goes up. Good idea??

I am looking for the oil pressure switch, no wiring going anywhere that looks promising. Pulled out a fitting just beneath the fuel filters on left side of engine but it just was a nut with a hole in it and something stuck in the hole, looks dodgey to me but I reckon it could be where the oil pressure switch should be. Any ideas?

Where is the transmission filled, can only see a likely bung type nut under the seat on the left?

Does anyone know where to get a free service manual? or a schematic showing all the tractor service points?

Thanks for any help guys

It may take a while for the mods to sign you in but a wealth of tractor knowledge.

Thanks essexpete that link was a great help. Confirmed pretty much what I was thinking re the hydraulic oil filler. Mine has been used as a return as well. Cheers
