What happens here

Position a large storage tote or appropriate container beneath the hydraulic system's drain plugs. There are typically two plugs: one in the rear and one in the front. Use an impact gun or a wrench to loosen and remove the drain plugs. Allow all the milky, contaminated hydraulic fluid to drain completely into the container. Observe the fluid's condition and check the magnetic drain plug for any metal flakes, indicating wear.

Goal: Remove the drain plugs from the tractor's hydraulic system to completely drain the contaminated, milky fluid.
