I have an early 70's, 135 gas, runs like a dream, outside all the time, summer winter never a problem until now. Looks like snow melted and got under the hydraulic oil filler cap and broke the cap and allowed water into the oil. I have drained the hydraulic oil and have 30L of new oil to go in. I have also purchased a new hydraulic oil filter to install but without manuals and very little mechanical knowledge I cannot find where the filter is. Can anyone tell me where it is and if there is anything else I need to do to get ride of the water out of the hydraulics. Thanks John

Hi Jhon.If you go to BARE-CO.com you will be able to see parts pictures of the 135 hyd. pump. You can see how the filter is mounted at the back left corner of the pump. We just cleaned ours up good. You can see the wire that keeps the wing nut from coming loose. Make sure the rubber boots around the shifters are not leaking water in. ray-s

Hello John in Canada,
First of all you do not normally need to buy a new filter, which I expect was quite expensive. As you sit on the seat look down to the left where the PTO lever is attached and you will see a round plate with 6 bolts. It will be easier to disconnect the handbrake rod (if you have one fitted) and the 2 bolts holding the bracket at the back of the foot step if you can. Drain the oil. Ensure that the PTO lever is in neutral and remove the plate. This is done more by 'feel' than sight. The top cover is a silver coloured upturned cup with a locking wire going to the backplate of the pump. You will need to cut this wire and unscrew the cap to remove the filter. Be careful as it has sharp egdes. It can be quite tight. The filter is contained in a similar cup underneath. There is an O ring under that which normally remains on the pump. Unscrew the body and remove it. It is normal to find very small bits of metal and rubbish in the plaits of the filter. Either fit the new one (or return it) and wash the other one out in petrol or diesel and clear it with an airline if you have one. Refitting is a reverse. I have never had a filter work loose but the wire is there for a reason. If you have some heavy domestic cable, peel the coating back and that should be OK. Refit the side cover and fit two opposite bolts. Check the operation of the PTO lever and ensure that it engages and disengages by turning the PTO shaft by hand (with the engine stopped). Refit the HB rod etc and replace oil to the correct level. Ensure that this problem cannot happen again.
Regards
DavidP

I am fighting a similar issue. Mine came through the shifter boots. You know that when water is mixed with oil, the water falls to the bottom. It should be easy to get out, but that ain't so. Some of the additives in the oil mix with the water to depress the freezing point so even freezing it doesn't work. I would recommend warming the case by doing this in a garage or using a tarp and one of those 500watt halogen lights pointed at the belly to thaw the frozen portion. Jack up the right side slightly to help the fluid run out. Catch oil in clean 5 gallon buckets and allow to settle. Pour off oil from top, reinstall in tractor and run tractor in gear with wheels off the ground. You will notice that every time you do this you will come up with a little less as you pour off the top and trash the white stuff, so this cannot be done too many times. When done, refill with new fluid. Count yourself lucky, mine trashed the hydraulic pump. this happened before I bought the tractor but I am left to pick up the pieces (literally). Good Luck.
