I posted this problem where the Hydraulic fluid transfers to the transmission causing it to overfill. That was over a year ago.
I have attempted to remove the tube with zero success, and finally purchased a steel tube that was a great fit for the inside of the pressure tube. I cleaned and brushed the inside of the tube and epoxied the new tube in, and after allowing plenty of time to allow drying, refilled the hydraulics and took it out to try. After roughly 2 hours the brush mower dropped to the ground and would not lift at all. I checked hydraulic fluid and reservoir was empty again. After putting some fluid in it began to raise and I took it back to the shop and drained the transmission down to the full level which was obviously my hydraulic fluid. Now I am looking for info to bypass the hydraulic system so the tubes are not in the equation. Anyone know how to accomplish that, Or is there something else I missed? HELP please!
