hydraulic fan oil and filter

[Dan Williams]

Ron, I drew a sample from the canister and
sent it in for testing. The fluid may have been clear on top but the
fluid I drew from the bottom of the canister was brown. You know, it
would be nice if someone with some fleet management software could enter all
our coaches in a data base and help manage the maintenance and record keeping
for us. I should have the lab results back by mid week and can give you
the results if you are interested.

Haven't had time to check the manual. It probably says
the same as

yours, but several other scheduled items really don't need that much

attention either.
