I have a 2750 that has had a lower end noise for two years now. I had JD look at it and they were uncertain and said it could cost 1000s to fix. When you let the clutch out it would make a horrible squealing noise and you could feel it through the petal. It sounded and felt like a bearing was going. It has gotten increasing worse over this time. I would occasionally have problems with the power steering not working properly as well.
A month ago i pulled the screen and replace the filter to the power steering. The screen was clogged badly with what looked like a dark red paint chips. I also pulled all three drain plugs and it appears as though the source of the chips is coming from the rear axle housing and not the transmission. The steering improved right away and within several days the noise miraculously began to subside and it felt different when i let the clutch out. Something began to get lubrication again? I also changed the filter. The filter had no paint chips but had some fine metal discoloration. It seemed normal. The strange thing was that the filter had been collapsed on the inside of the mesh. This is a filter in a can.
One month later i have lost all the hydraulics. The loader and rear hydraulics are chattering and the steering is not functioning. I check the screen but only found a few paint chips. I checked the filter and it was crushed again with the inside mesh imploding. No paint chips. I tested the rear remotes and they are operating at 1200 psi which is well below normal. John Deere has suggested that the brake liner could be the source of the chips. It seems likely that it has clogged the system.
Any thoughts on this terrible mess. I am curious where else in the system something may have failed or clogged that would cause the filter to clasp and is it worth going inside to repair any of the damage at this point. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
