Experts - know you have addressed this so ofter you are tired of it.
I have attempted to review other postings. But still have a questions.
Call me a slow learner, but would rather ask that do it wrong.
OK tractor has bobbed and drifted down for some time but am
going to address it now. I have removed the fill plug and watched
as I lifted the 3 point. Watch the dog bone cylinder rod bob and
drift down when shut off. But NO oil coming out of the cylinder.
Not even a drop. Can see the PTO shaft and no oil laying on it at all.
Oil looks good - no foam - no bubbles -no movement of oil in
bottom - no rust, and everything look good like you would want to
see inside a housing with oil in it. Have flipped from position to
draft and back to position and still the same. Also one arm loader
running off of same pump and control valve will hold up for a few
hours.
So I am assuming (may be wrong on my part) that it may be the
unload valve. Help me out here if I should be looking at something
other than Unload valve.
Ok to get to it - need to remove top cover. (Does the accessory
plate need to come off first?)
Really do not want to touch any more then I have to - but also want
to do it right. While I am in there what else should I replace/review?
Know that I should look at the control lever pin that wears.
Will replace top cover gaskets, and will replace orings in accessory
plate although those have been replace recently.
In pulling that unload valve it looks like you must force pull the
unload plug. (see picture below) (know that is a 3000 picture, but
can I use washers and a bolt to pull mine?)
My manual does not really tell you HOW to reinstall that plug.
Assuming it has to be pressed or hammered back in but my manual
only says reinstall with threads out. DO I JUST TAP it in till it
bottoms out?
