Re: pump is toast (was: intermittent stalling)
Craig;
I've never seen a dipstick on the hydraulic fluid reservoir. On the ones
I've seen, the reservoir body is made of a translucent plastic and the fluid
level is visible through the plastic body. The reservoir is marked with
lines for "max" and "min" level.
