It really depends on the manufacture so do have access to these fill holes especially some the new mowers. But it best to prime off (Bench) the tractor if possible but you must have the equipment to spin the input pulley up to 3000 rpms. I will be testing using a 500 rpm drill later here as that is currently the only large hand drill I have. I believe that drill will work as I hand primed the last hydro.

And in the manual, they put the comma in the wrong place
it should have read
"with the engine running slowly, move the handles "
Purging is best done at low revs to avoid frothing the oil to start with then once you have enough oil in the system to drive the wheels then you increase the speed .
Off the mower I purge using a pedistal drill starting at 500 rpm.

Thanks I was hoping the 1/2 hp low speed drill would work. Just got to get a bit adaptor to 1/2 square drive now so I can use the sockets.
