My 1855 went down last week. Drained the hydraulic into the rear end. I initially tried plumbing around the PTO, which I rebuilt a couple winters ago, and the drain didn't stop.
It seemed over the period of 12-18 hours that the level would go down a couple quarts.
I filled it and drove it to the shed, about 5 miles. It was below the dipstick by then.
I'm guessing the hydraulic pump? Maybe the pan? Which would you start with?
If it's the pump, I looked at the parts breakdown and it looks like you might be able to take the pump off and replace the bearing and seal without disassembling the whole pump. Is that the case? The pump otherwise works fine. Will it be obvious if it is the pump when I take it off the tractor?
Thanks
