Leaking 1855

The supply to the speedo gear gets wack every time the coupler chain lets go.

Hopefully you found it.

You got all your grain off down there yet?? We are combining barley and baling straw this week. All the corn is in the ground and coming up and we are planting the beans later this week behind the grain. We could use some rain up here though.

There isn't any room behind/under the dash for anything but steering. There are four hydraulic lines in there each of which is about $100.
Mine went from a slow drip to real leak when the wheels were turned--that's easy one of two lines and they come up over the fuel tank. Then the drip turned to a real (2nd one) leak only when the engine was shut off. Had to be the return line but I decided since they are so difficult to replace I would get all new ones. The supply linev(pressure) would not come out. Course it still driped.
That's when I looked at the speedo line.

When you lose a chaim coupler does the speedo line get wacked?

If you pull the fuel tank out of there you can see the brake cylinders in behind the dash too. Sometimes they go to leaking and I think that is what has happened to mine.

I try not to let the chain couplers come apart, but when they do they normally take out the speedo cable and the part on the transmission that it hooks too. I used to put all that back every time but have gotten lazy and havent fixed the last few. Just wait till one breaks on a 50 series tractor and goes up under the dash and tears out all your gauge wires, that is lots of fun.....
