Power Steering and Hydraulic Engine Cooling Fan
Does anyone have a source for the "O" ring that fits the high pressure filter
for this system? Was able to get the element, the $85 one, but can't find the
proper Parker "O" ring. BB said they don't have it. I took the old one and
tried to duplicate it. Installed one that was as close as the eye could
determine but it starting leaking after a couple of thousand miles. Any help
would most appreciated.

Curt,
I change my hydraulic oil every 20,000 miles including the 3 (there
are 3 in my '85 anyway) filters
inside the tank and the external filter. The external filter is
about $85 and the internal filters are about $8 ea(there are 3 of
them).

Change the engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles. If the change is
procrastenated beyond 5,000 miles, it'll start using a quart in
1,000 miles. If changed in 5,000 miles maybe use 1 or 2 quarts
depending on use, high speed or hot temps will cause slightly more
useage.
