Hy-tran on 560 farmall...only 'cause I wus stupid. Drained all 16 gals in to half a plastic drum...man, wasn't ready for all that pressure and soaked the coveralls. Changed filter, cleaned screen and put plug back in. Removed fill plate and refilled. That was the easy part. Hard stuff started when I dropped one of the cover plate bolts IN THE DANGED THING!!! Working after work, in the dark, in winter in an open front cattle shed...SHEEEEET. Two days later, got the cover up high enough to stick my head inside and look...after draining the thing again. Can't see it. Tried magnets, little clamper deals, everything. Thought maybe I was mistaken and it wasn't actually in there. Put the cover back down and together. Started it up, and rolled backwards about 2 feet and could hear it - POP - POP - POP. Took another 2 nights to actually find it...it having bounced through a hole in the bull gear, that I swear wasn't even as big as the bolt itself. Got it finally to drop to the bottom and grabbed it through the drain hole... NOW, I know to actually remove the danged bolts completely and set them aside BEFORE I remove the cover. Then, replace cover before even reaching for them bolts... Oh well, guess I learned a few things, the hard way as usual.
