Hello and Thank You for selecting Just Answer,Get back with me if you need more help after reading my answer. Couple things that could be causing this is internal leakage allowing fluid to escape and not reach the front main hyd.pump or weak transmission pump and not keeping up with demand to supply front main hydraulic pump. Best way to diagnose is perform internal leakage test and trans. pump pressure test. person with experience on these systems won't have problem finding root issue.
Customer:
I had thought of that as well in the beginning, but the problem improved with the fluid and filter change. I can use the tractor all day bush hogging and the problem does not present itself. If it were a
Customer:
I was cut off in mid sentence. To end latest response I would ask if this were a pressure problem, why does is it not present itself constantly instead of intermittently?
ebnel :
How much of sump screen was blocked and did it keep plugging with same amount each time screen was removed?
Customer:
No, it was much less the second time around. If a third change does not fix the problem, please give me the required pressures at what RPM should be correct? I have the gauges to test the problem and am a mechanic for the Post Office. I could buy a new tractor for what a dealer wants to even look at the tractor.
ebnel :
Checking hydraulic pressure from rear remote coupler should be 2150-2250 full rpm. Transmission pressure is checked from port #5 "in photo" 150-170 psi full throttle. These tests are with oil at operating temperature.
