Working on a mf 175, and I would like to clean the hydraulic oil filter / strainer. I have read to remove the left hand plate, and also that removing the right hand plate provides access too.
The left hand plate, the one with the pto engagement lever, has several hydraulic lines going thru it, so it seems that the right hand plate 'may' be easier.
However, I have read that since this is a multi power high low transmission that I may not be able to access the filter from the right hand side.
Anyone out there that has done this from right hand plate (as seated on the tractor)? Or am I just doing some wishful thinking? Oh, and there is no triangular plate on the bottom of this one, though it is a 1969 model.
Thanks in advance!
