Thank you for the video. I bought a 2630 about 7 years ago, but have not used it very much (I ran it more today than I have since I bought it). The hydraulics on the loader have never worked very well, so I knew that I needed to change the filter and clean the screen, but the pictures in the book that I bought are so dark that they were not helpful. The book does list the crankcase oil capacity as 10 qts and the hydraulic oil capacity as 10 gallons. It does not specify which oils to use. Your video cleared up some of my questions.

Very glad I could help out!

I found with my 2630 if you don’t put the draft for the rear down and lock it. The front end loader won’t work properly.

@@michaelwelborn6576 What exactly do you mean by putting the draft down and locking it. My lift on the front end loader will only come up very slowly and if I try to lift it quicker, the lift falls as though I have over pressured the system and a relief valve has released.

@@wilsontaylor234 I should have said rear lift bars.

What issues were you having with the tractor? And did this fix your issue?

[@ruraliowa8475]

I am having hydraulic issues with mainly the rear coupler that the hoses connect to. I have purchased a seal kit and will be posting a video on me trying to fumble my way through that. DEFINETLY replacing the hydraulic filter helped, but it still has a considerable hydraulic leak at the coupler.

Dude that bale netting can cause a axel seal problem.

I can't believe it didn't!
