Rg 1 the drain plug is an allen head plug, not really a bolt.✌Harry
Hydralic oil change
I have 94 4016 vanguard engine. Im trying to change hydraulic fluid. I read there shoukd be 1/4 Allen head bolt for drain. Mine has two 5/32 Allen head blots between oil lines on control body Is this right. They are much too tight for little 5/32 wrench to remove without stripping or bending wrench itself. Is there another way to change? Could I pump out reservoir and get enough out to be beneficial?

I realize it's not bolt but is it supposed to be that small and shold there be two of them . I read there should be one 1/4 inch Allen head mine is two 5/32 Allen heads probably impossible to get out with out stripping.Rg 1 the drain plug is an allen head plug, not really a bolt.✌Harry
Those two smaller plugs between the lines are not the ones you want to remove to drain the oil. The drain is a larger plug located off to the side. Here's a picture of a valve (grabbed off ebay) with an arrow (I added) pointing to the drain plug:

Thanks I thought I was overlooking something. I appreciate your help.Those two smaller plugs between the lines are not the ones you want to remove to drain the oil.

I know your question was more related to how to drain your hydraulic fluid but please stop to think about what you are going to fill the system with?. Case says use 5-20 for winter use in temperatures less than freezing and 15/40 above and this was 50 years ago!!!. If you use your GT year round as I do you might think about how you use your GT year round too. If it's a summer use GT then just go for it. If however you get snow and use your GT for snow casting of perhaps tilling in summer? then you need to read this:
Case recommended 5-20 for winter use... I tried that and well if you want to see your snow thrown 6 inches go right a head. I your really want to use your GT for winter/tilling your need torque!! and a lot of it.. You need a lower torque engine oil to start when cold to reduce drag on the engine but also maximum engine torque when snow blowing/tilling ? The ONLY solution is a wide range hydraulic oil. What to SAVE time and obviously dollars too? you ONLY choice is a synthetic and something approaching Mobile 1 5/50 oil. You mention cost? well guess what if you follow the Case/Ingersoll guideline to change the oil to the season and buy conventional oil? you are spending about 5 times more than me! A 5 quart can of Mobile 1 costs less than $25 and lasts 5 years! how much are you spending?

No, you don't have to drain at the Travel Control Valve, but it is the lowest point on the tractor. If you have a rear hydraulic PTO, you can drain there - there is a procedure in the Operators Manual that has you remove spark plugs and crank the starter to pump the oil out. On older models it may be more convenient to remove a hose at the oil cooler or use the Case drain line if your tractor has that...I have 94 4016 vanguard engine. Im trying to change hydraulic fluid.
