Hi Folks, 1st post:
We've had this critter since it was a demo unit. It is for personal use in the woods doing stuff that nothing else can do as long as it is on relatively flat land. But hours have gotten me to do some more detailed maintenance. This thing can't be transported except on a lowboy and we are long and away from points of service. All I want to do is pull fluid samples. There is a manifold with all the fluid sample taps but what is the process? Assuming the JD is all warmed up and moved a bit I assume the taps should be bled out a bit to get the active flow? What connector and what details should I know for good samples? Lastly, we are in WA state and what testing lab would be our best use?
Thanks in advance,
JRH
