Telite ( IH 454 gas

I need to rephrase my last post, the telite is coming on and blinking real dim, the operator manual says to check the fluid,are the screen, the sensor and if none of that works the transmission lube pump is bad are going bad. My question is if the lube pump is bad will this make the tractor not move forwards are backwards everything else works just fine.
 
Is this tractor a North American version, or a European version?

Is it hydrostatic or gear drive?

Does it have a "reverser", if so is it hydraulically-operated, or mechanical?
 
I've got the same tractor and it comes on and after tractor starts it goes off. If everything is working ok(I'm confused) maybe it's the switch or?
 
Probably better to post this on the Farmall/IH forum, but briefly... the lube pump keeps the fluid evenly distributed between the compartments, as well as pressure-lubing some critical parts of the transmission. When the pump doesn't pump the hydraulics can get starved of fluid since too much of it ends up in the wrong place. A band-aid fix until you get it sorted out is to overfill the hydraulics a bit. A common cause of lube pump problems is that the screen on the input of the pump is covered with the remains of the parking brake band, and flushing the system may not get that crud out -- you may need to remove the MCV and reach through the opening to clean it properly.
 
I have friends who swear by transx,so I dumped 2 qts in it and I've been running it, before I did that the telite wasn't coming on it would move but not very good.
 
Magic transmission potions aren't going to solve this problem, and probably aren't going to be very friendly to the hydraulic system either. Have you at some point in this process drained and replaced all the fluid? (there is more than one drain plug you have to take out).
 
Yes I've drained it more than once, cleaned the screen each time, both times there has been very little crud on the screen. Unless there's drain plugs that the operator manual isn't telling me about,there is 2 in the bottom and then the filter itself.
 
The lube pump screen isn't the flat one on the hydraulic filter, it's a thumb-shaped and thumb-sized one on the lube pump intake (and can't be seen unless the top cover or MCV are removed -- and even then it's hard to see). But I don't know that this is really the source of your problem.
 
This tractor has been setting for quite a few years, when I drained the old hydraulic fluid out it looked like cottage cheese, I flushed it twice with diesel, the Trans X was put in more as a cleaning agent as to a quick fix and it appears to have done it's Job by just looking at the filter. I'm thinking the pickup tube is full of crud and needs to be cleaned out.
