[AT] JD PowrTrol Purge

[STEVE ALLEN]

Gentlemen, a hydraulic question.

We had to have new hydraulic hoses made for our 6' brushhog, and, when swapping them out, we discovered the oil in the PowrTrol on the '51 A had become contaminated with water.

Can anyone suggest a practical and non-harmful way to purge the system of the contaminated oil?  We got a lot out when the old hoses came off, and I pushed as much as I could out of the cylinder, and I drained as much as I could out of the PowrTrol unit at the lower plug.  I am stymied on doing a complete purge, however.

Thanks for any suggestions!
