Oddly, I've never been asked this question, nor have I thought about it much.
Does one check diff oil level with the blade and implement hydraulic cyls extended or collapsed?
This is with the combined hydraulic and diff oil systems that most 1500 and many Sprytes have.
It would explain why the diff oil level sometimes turns out to be low after an oil change and test run.
Haven't found an answer among the many manuals in the library.
Overfull would be bad as the diff oil level is already set at a much higher level than one would expect and oil might leak out the steering rods or the lid vent. Underfull would starve the pinion bearings.
Any ideas?
