I have gotten about a years worth of occasional use since I replaced the charge pump and cleaned the control valve and pickup screen (see this thread for that story here: https://www.heavyequipmentforums.co...-hyd-pressure-pump-or-regulating-valve.73228/ ) At that time I found clutch friction material clogging the pickup screen for the transmission's charge pump and my transmission has been gradually slipping more and more over the last year. It's time to pull the trans and replace the clutch frictions as well as inspecting the rest of the transmission.
I have the backhoe up on jackstands all around. It's 35" up at battery compartment (manual recommends at least 34".) I plan to start on it the morning (Monday). Any suggestions, advice, comments, are appreciated.
MG, I'm counting on you buddy! I cannot find it, but didn't you recommend I pull the hydraulic tank to do this?
