Scag Tiger Cub Hydro Pump Air Pocket?

It wouldn't hurt to do the purge a few more times just to get out any encapsulated air.

Good advice ...

Let us know. Just be aware that if you don't have pictures of the charge pump covers from both pumps they may face opposite directions from each other when installed on the mower.

So after another couple rounds of purging the air from the system I never had a drop in fluid from the reservoir. I mowed (approx 2 acres) and had a little fluid burp out of the reservoir and pumps were running 176-180 degrees which seems hot to me. The fluid was a touch over the recommended level, but only by about 1/16” - 1/8” over full. Anything to be concerned about or just let it ride?

Hydraulics can normally run 100 degrees above air temperature.
