Thanks to all who offered tips and advice on rebuilding my leaky mole board lift hydraulic cylinder I was able to find a complete seal kit online and get it installed and back together with great results--no more oil leak!!!! Now that i got the leak stopped and was able to actually use the machine a little, I found more issues. When I bought the grader, the hyraulic filter, which is a cartridge type and installs in the reservoir just to the left of the operator seat, was removed and setting in the cab. I asked the guy I bought it from why that was and he told me they were unable to find the correct filter and it would not work. Upon further checking, I found that is was in fact the correct filter that the machine called for. But after I cleaned it up and installed it, the filter will not let the hyd fluid flow through it fast enough and fills the reservoir on top of the filter up and forces it out around the filter cap beside the seat. I see in the manual there is a relief valve. Wondered if that could be my problem or if anyone had any other ideas.
My next issue is that there seams to be alot of slippage in either the transmission or torque converter when I put it in either 3rd or 4th gear. Especially in 4th. What little work I did do, low gear seems to work fine. Wondered if that was just something I was just gonna have to live with or if there could possibly be a simple fix and not something pricey and complicated.
Thanks in advance for any advice on these issues.
