how much fluid and what kind for the three point lift. it is slow do you think it could be the filter, and where is it located. Also this tractor smokes blue at idle in cold wheather but not under a load what would be your diagnosis. Thanks a lot

Which oil to use and how much should come from a manual, although universal hydraulic/transmission fluid has been almost universal in compacts for quite awhile. A clogged filter will make the lift run slow.

Blue smoke is oil and could be a worry. I would distinguish between blue and gray smoke because most diesels will make some gray smoke until they warm up to. If it is gray, it could be just a warm up thing or maybe a thermostat that's not completely closing. I'd check the temp gauge.

I would check to see if the engine oil is the right viscosity, but the wrong oil more is moe associated with white smoke. It's more common for an oil burner to burn it at higher temperatures and under power than at idle. If it's blue smoke, I'd check the crankcase breather (if it's an open system) for blowby. I guess oil smoke at idle might be caused by excessive oil under the rocker arm cover or worn valve guides but those problems aren't too common.
