Well after getting this old girl this spring, this is the first time I have gotten to dig in and get some filters changed!! Hit up the Case dealer yesterday and picked up some filters. Replaced the fuel filters, shuttle filter, and the PS pump filter. I also need to do the main hydrolics, but they listed two diferent ones, and I did not have the numbers on the loader with me.
First offf... I dont think the fule filters had been done in a LONG time!!!! Lots of crud, and grit in the housings. Also the lower filter [the primary I belive] was REAL nasty!!!!!!!!!!!! Cleaned it all out, and also drained the water trap. I gotta say she runs better. Its always been a good runner, but using it last night I found myself running it about 500rpms higher then I normaly did. It was so much smoother, I did not notice it was running higher speeds.
The shuttle filter helpped also. In the cold [in the 30's] it would take the normal 5 min or so of warm up to move. Well after the change, it moved in less then a min!!!
And last... the PS pump filter... I had a slow leek at the pump that required me to keep adding fluid once in a wile... Well.. the last time someone was in the pump, they cut the Oring. No leaks now.
So I gotta say... a hour or so work, and $65 gave me a nice running tractor. Im a happy camper.
