Working on grading the driveway yesterday on my 140, for about an hour and a half, and I went to use down pressure on the rear blade. BOOOM!!! SPLASH!!!!!!! SMOKE!!!!!!
Hytrans came shooting out of the touch control unit at hyper velocity, blew all over the front of the tractor, and after shutting it off and hopping down, I found a 2 inch steel disc, hotter than anything and covered with fluid on the ground. What a mess.
Well, obviously I couldn't lift the blade so I took it off. The Rockshafts would cycle up and down with no weight. So, some basics. I've been having problems with the unit dropping the attachment on it's own, and with fluid getting hot. I'm thinking the touch control unit was overfilled causing the heat and over pressure. I get that I'm going to have to take the gas tank off and sundry other things to get to the front of the touch control unit, but my question is: What is that 2 inch steel disc (looks kind of like an engine freeze plug only without the flanges) and where does it go?? Any help? Thanks.
