JCB 1550B Unknown Year Hydraulic Fluid
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:03 am
Hello,
I have just purchased an old (mid-late 80's I am told) JCB 1550B. Although the hydraulics seem to work OK, except for a leaky stabilizer cylinder, the sight glass for fluid level appears to be dry. Could someone please tell me how the machine rams should be positioned to correctly check the fluid level? Also, would both/either an ISO 32 and ISO 46 hydraulic fluid be acceptable to use in this older machine to top off the fluid?
Thanks for any help
