Hi,
I have a question concerning this tractor. I recently changed the hydraulic and transmission fluid and applied SLIGHT air pressure to the dipstick opening to move fluid up to the pump to prime it. It wouldn't prime otherwise. The repair shop suggested this to me but said not to apply too much pressure or I could blow out a seal. I was very careful and applied less than five psi -- only enough to start the fluid moving. Now I have fluid leaking from under the transmission and the hydraulic unit. I may have over filled it by less than a quart or so -- just a little over the full mark on the dipstick. I also noticed that the fluid was dripping from what appears to be cotter keys protruding from the bottoms of the transmission and hydraulic cases. It appears that these cotter keys were inserted from the inside and were bent over on the outside. What are these? Any suggestions on the source of the leaks? Thanks in advance,
Scott
