Should I?

Posted by JayWalt on February 08, 2007 at 20:16:14 from (71.244.236.113):

I dont know if most of you have been following my situation. As of now, I have the hydraulic res on my 300u cleaned out, and an external filter installed. I have the cover back on and torqued up. Now I'm wondering if i should have taken off the tranny cover to inspect the rear end. I'm thinking that 2 of the res cover bolts go through the cover, and the tranny cover and thread into the tranny, which would be fine, as I dont think it would effect the res cover gasket when removing the assembly. Now there is maybe 4 other bolts that might thread into the tranny, instead of the tranny cover and that might be a problem messing with those after the gasket has been installed.

It would be nice to catch any bearings going bad or gears going out. there is no abnormal noise, but just knowing everything is in good shape would help me eliminate one of the 4 areas of concern. These areas are the following...
1. rear end and gears/shift fork - I have no idea what shape they are in
2. engine condition - The engine oil pressure is around 55psi and tapers to about 50-55 when warm, no real noticeable difference when its warm. engine runs good and only has a slight noise to it, more of a tapping sound, but only when reved up loud, and it is still barely noticeable then, I just pick up on these things. The engine was ran without a good header system for years unfortunately, and has been repaired since i got it. One day I'll try to get a recording and get your guys' input, but for the most part I think the engine is in good shape for its age.
3. Clutch - I have had the inspection cover off when i was working on my starter problems. The clutch disc is worn fairly good, but I'm not addressing it until need be, no slipping at all.
4. Hydraulic pump - I was getting the notorious hydraulic pump whine. I'm hoping my expendition into the hydraulic system addresses this, or helps to alleviate it. either way, the pump is more then capable of lifting over 1200lbs with my loader, so I'm happy, and theres been no noticeable decrease in power. I'd like to get a pressure test on her sometime just out of curiousity. The whining bothers me the most, but as I have read, it is not necessarily symptomatic of impending doom.

I'd like to get one more of these possible problems/main cost areas assertained.

Any knowledge on whether 2 or 6 of these res cover bolts thread into the tranny case in addition to the standard tranny cover bolts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
I checked out caseih and theres no exploded with the tranny cover that shows what bolts thread where.
