Hydraulic Oil for Wedico 740 ADT

[aseejr]

I had the back of the hydraulic pump resevoir pop off, because the pressure relief line was plugged. Was wondering what type of oil I can use for this system?

PS: I have ordered oil from Rick but was wondering if can find something similar in my local auto store.

I have switched over to jack oil and it seems to work just fine. I get it from Canadian Tire, easy to get and the price is right...hahah
Would you happen to have any used 8 channel fm RX ?

I've been using Esso Hydraul 50 (10W hydraulic oil).

Did the previous owner cap the vent holes atop the reservior prior to shipping it to you? There's two vents on top of the tank that need to be open.

Yes. Both capped. Ric from PMD said that only 1 has to stay open. So both open?

I'd recommend both be open. To have only one open, too much air trying to escape through one small hole might cause some oil to blow out too.

Thanks for the replies guys!!!

Did you try that oil yet? We stock it in 5 gallon pails as well.

LOL!!! The 1 litre container you gave me should last.....hmmm.....a few years. THANK YOU.

Just tried it last night. So far so good. Everything is working.

Now if I can only get the front tires to stay mounted on the wheel.
