It's not impossible that water got in.
I drained all of the fluid last night, and then
briefly ran the tractor. When I moved the lift
lever to the up position, it went up (slowly).
I closed the valve that lets air escape when
lowering the lift (drop rate valve) to force
more fluid out, so that it would drain more
completely.
Then, I started it again, and repeated it.
This morning, I did it one more time, and
it seemed to come up much quicker (almost
normal). All of this is w/ both hydr. drain plugs
removed! I'm going to keep raising and lowering
until it won't any more (each time a bit more fluid trickles out).
There is also supposed to be an intake screen.
When I bought my filters, I got one that looks
like an air pre-cleaned. It's a cylinder about
2-1/2" dia x 10" long. Not sure where it goes, but
I suspect it goes in where there is a lg. plug
in the side of the xmission above the sediment bowl/ filter.
If you know where that filter goes,
let me know.
I'm beginning to suspect that some sludge might
have clogged things, and that as I remove fluid
and cycle the system, things might be working
themselves loose. I'm tempted to fill the system
with diesel, cycle a few times, then replace with
303 fluid. That or put in some type "F" xmission
fluid in to clean thing, or a mix of the two.
When I bleed the brakes, the fluid comes out a bit
dirty, but when I check on the dipstick, the
fluid is so clean it's hard to see what level it
is at. I'm wondering if part of the system is not
circulating fluid or something. Anyone got any
clue what might be going on?
