Go to your local parts store or fuel jobber and get a can of Tractor Fluid or your dealer and get OEM fluid. About 50 bucks a can but a lot cheaper than a hydraulic pump failure. Good Luck!
In the hydraulic oil tank. Where that's located depends on which model of backhoe you have.
Check the hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic cylinder piston rubber washers to replace.
M2C41A is the Original Equipment Manufacturers Specifications for the type of oil to go into the system. M2C41A is not engine oil; it is a type of hydraulic oil. You do not need to use Ford M2C41A, you just have to find an alternative oil that meets Ford's Specifications. You should be fine using a Universal Tractor Fluid that meets SAE 10-W30 classification, just make sure it meets OEM M2C41A Specifications . DO NOT USE ENGINE OIL it is not the same.
In general they leak hydraulic brake fluid when they go bad.
Under the seat.
Both! The gas engine would take oil then the log splitter that runs the hydraulics would take a specific hydraulic fluid. Its best to go by what the manufacture says
Sounds like you have clutch issues, check the hydraulic clutch fluid level, if it is low you have a leak.
This is a very general question. I am familiar with hydraulic or "bottle" jacks, and I think this is what your question is about. Hydraulic jacks have a pump to force hydraulic fluid into a hydraulic cylinder, which forces it to extend. This action is what raises whatever load you place it under. The fluid is usually pretty specific to the jack. Go to your local hardware store and ask for hydraulic jack oil. I have seen people use transmission fluid in a pinch (way out on the farm, miles from the store).
you go behind the seat on top of stomp you unscrew that bolt an poure the correct amount in the housing until in runs out of the hole on the right side which has a set screw
On a 2001 Ford Focus : The brake fluid reservoir is used for the brake and clutch systems
No. Air is compressible and fluid is incompressible. So if air is in the hydraulic lines, it will make the fluid act differently; if the fluid is pushing a piston it will be more spongy. Hydraulic fluid(an oil) is usually under high pressure, like 3,000 psi. This causes any small amount of air to go into the solution of the oil. Most Hydraulic Systems return fluid to a reservoir and the reservoir allows the air to "boil out" of solution and is released.
