The Meyers I had several years ago filled on top near where the ram comes out of the body.

There should be a bolt on top to add oil from what I remember from the plow trucks last winter that we used.

EDIT:

I believe it can be seen in this picture toward grille, but I'm not 100% sure.

yeah, it needs fluid... i use atf in fisher setups, but in meywr/western i use the blue stuff, it doesnt freeze like atf. there is nothing more annoying than having to stop and heat up the piston to make the plow work! fishers have the pump in the engine compartment so the fluid stays warm.

Just a thought

Is this a cable style plow system or electronic?

its electronic/hydrolic
i had to retap the lower left bolt because the other one blew out on me. and i think i put to long of a bolt in there and it covered up another hole. so i think my bolt may be blocking some flowage. ill take some pics of what i think is wrong with it and post it and then you guys can tell me what you think.
i dont know if that made any sense but ull understand when i get some pics
thanks
