    Changing hydraulic oil

    The only thing I would add is do paired cylinders at the same time. Loader lift cylinders, fel bucket cyl's. swing cyl's and backhoe boom if it has 2 cyl's.

    Case 580 super M

I guess you have never seen Cat D9's from back in the 1960's and newer, until they quit making them and introduced the D10's and D10T's. The blades would pivot from the...
