    980H Transmissions issues

    My pressure at the filter housing is too low. It is at about 250 psi. Is there a relief valve i can adjust to raise it up? Or are my pumps shot? Pressuse remains constant throughout the rpm range? I also took out the 10w oil i had in the tranny and put in the 30w this morning it made the...

    980H Transmissions issues

    Ok thats good I definitely switched out the correct valve. I throw a guage on the test port on tranny filter today. Im only getting about 250psi it looks like and thats through out the entire rpm range. I believe tht number is pretty low. Im planning on doing more pressure test once i get some...

    980H Transmissions issues

    Im not sure if u mean swap the solenoid valve part number 244-3114(which is what i did with number six. I swapped the whole piece that is bolted on with 2 bolts) or you mean swap the entire assembly which i assume is the entire piece that all 6 of the valves bolt into. also i cut open my old...

    That makes sense about the cold weather. Especially since this machine sits for almost all the winter.

    980H Pilot Pressure Problems

    The inside accumulator had 0psi and the outside one had about 400psi. Charged them both to 800 and everything seems to be working fine now. I guess time will tell if they hold their charges

    980H Pilot Pressure Problems

    He said he has everything just not sure what its all going to cost. Also not sure if its going to work. He thinks the accumulators will probably going to have to be replaced if they dropped the charge. Sounds like its gonna get expensive really fast if he is gonna be charging then replacing and...

    980H Pilot Pressure Problems

    I can tell you already before i even get back to the machine the alarm will sound in probably 3 pumps of the brake pedal. What would you say a perfect accumulator amount of pumps are for a new accumulator? and how hard is it to recharge then myself? I can definitely get my hands on some...
