Hi, I acquired an AC5050 with a 400 loader. The loader works slow, and I'm sure is full of water....can anyone tell me how much fluid it takes? I plan on changing all the filters and fluids....I ordered the manuals but they won't be here for a bit. Thanks much Travis |

| Loader oil is in the loader frame tower. Full is when the dipstick says it's full. If you drain out 3 gallons, it probably takes about 3 gallons. |

Dr. Have never seen a dipstick on a 400 Series. Just a breather cap. Coat hanger works for me, fill to just above the return line port. Gary |

Yes, there is a dipstick which is (or should be) attached to the breather cap. Bought one a few years ago for mine when I still had it. Available, but not cheap! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
