Laymor DigMaster Hyd Oil..?

I'm fixing a buddies little backhoe while he's out of town. One of the MANY hyd lines under the belly is leaking a LOT.

I have been looking all night for the right Hydraulic Oil (type/grade/weight...)
for this Laymor DigMaster, hydrostatic drive.

Any suggestions for my location (Central Texas), light to medium duty... Hyd Oil.?

Thanks

My local Case dealer hooked me up...
Got her running and took it out for some stump digging...
Tree stumps have no chance against a backhoe, even a SMALL backhoe...!!!

Its amazing what a backhoe, even a small one, can do. We just removed a tree line here on the farm, and I thought the hi-hoe that the excavator brought in to pull the stumps would have troubles with them because the trees were up to 20" across. Boy, was I wrong. He had about 1/4 mile of stumps pulled in under 3 hours.

Not sure what it could be, its all off the same system, so it could be a valve issue, or any number of things, how long has it been since it worked last? You could have a transport catch engauged, could be a fluid or filter issue, or a seal.... check fluid levels, look for leaks.
Let it warm up and cycle the joysticks and see if you can get it moving.
Does it have a loader? Does it work right?
Three point hoes can be very dangerous, I'm not sure if it should move up and down as that moves all the geometry of the hoe... you should have a brace that goes from the lowers to the top link that keeps it from moving.
You should be using Hydraulic OIL, is it hydrostatic drive?

Hopefully someone here knows more about your machine. Good luck, be careful..!!

Its all about getting the roots to break and getting some leverage on them....
I left my stumps about 4-5' tall so I could push and pull on them, without the top of the tree being over me.

Digging after a good soaking rain, makes it easier to get them out.
