You have a good idea, but if your machine is like most that have not had regular fluid changing or flushing of this area, a LOT OF SLUDGE AND SEDIMENT has been deposited on the botton of the hydraulic and rearend cases. I would recommend a harder (a little harder) but more better idea.Drain from all three plugs, remove PTO shaft, remove the hydraulic pump, and remove inspection covers. Then you have access to all the nooks, corners and divided areas to hand clean out all this GUNK! You can also use solvents, brushes and rags to get all the years of acumulated &^^%$#%^ out of these areas. (The tranny case is normally fairly clean). The gaskets you need to replace are cheap and the overall job is much much much more better than just a 5 gallon solvent flush, which may just move all this crap thru your hydraulic pump, lift cylinder, tranny gears and bearings, etc. Good Luck, Jim
