The hydraulic fluid capacity of Case IH MX 170 tractor is 25.5 gallons. It's important to use enough fluid or the transmission could be damaged.
It souds like you are very low on hydraulic fluid, check out the reservoir level.
In any general application, hydraulic fluid is contained inside a system consisting of pumps, actuators, and hoses. The hydraulic fluid is not actually consumed, except in the case of leaking fluid or a fluid change.
Remove the breather cap at rear of tractor, on the left side of the PTO it pulls straight out. It has a dipstick on it. You should be able to add fluid there as well.
The manual says 8 quarts or 7.6 liters of case TCH fluid ,you can use Hy-tran Ultra hydraulic fluid. I use the hydraulic transmission fluid from tractor supply and have no problems.
how transmission oil capacity
Automatic Transmission Fluid Type "F"
64 Quarts with both filters changed.
if the foot pedal is operated with the tractor off, the hydraulic fluid can leak back out of the power steering pump. work the wheel back and forth for a minute or two to get fluid back into the steering box. also, check the hydraulic fluid level.AnswerThere is a brass connector between the hydraulic pump and the PS pump. This connector may have broken. or the end of shaft may have broken. This was the case with my L2250 DT
any hydraulic transmission oil such as Hy-tran Case IH or Hy-Gard John Deere
It does not use brake fluid. It uses TCH hydrulic fluid. Brake fluid will swell the origs in the brake piston and either lock them up or leak into the trans axle causeing damage to the transaxles.
Looking at the back of the tractor. On the left hand side above the PTO
