i went ahead and bought a new front axle i appriciate all of yalls help and info on trying to find a used one but i bit the bullet and got a new one.so after i got it put back together i went and turned the dogs loose saturday, after a few minutes i had to leave the corn feild and go out and hit the road and go down about a mile. had a few hills to go up and noticed that my speed dropped of alot when going up the hills on the two lane hwy.is this normal or do you think a hydrolic fluid change may help or is this normal?i bought new fluid and filters fri when i got the axle and have not changed it yet.also will all the oil come out of one hole or are there two seperate places to drain it?one more thing if it is two places to drain it how much does each reservoir hold?thanks
