    John Deere 310E Backhoe with trans fluid pushing up dipstick?

    JL,as i stated earlier, I'm having the exact same issue with my 1989 210c. For the life of me i can't figure out what is wrong with this machine. It came on very suddenly, without any warning whatsoever, i was running it home and coming up the driveway it just quit. No forward or backwards, now...

    John Deere 310E Backhoe with trans fluid pushing up dipstick?

    mg 2361,thanks for your help, i really appreciate it. If this would be an issue with the parking brake return line, would that explain why the machine will not move forward or back all of a sudden? They both quit at the same time, so I'm thinking it's not a clutch problem. I could believe it...

    John Deere 310E Backhoe with trans fluid pushing up dipstick?

    BR 1474, thanks for explaining that. I do check the reverser oil level with the machine warmed up, in neutral and running. I'm just at a loss as to what this problem could be. I have found a lot of threads by searching, that say their machines are acting the same, but they never post whether it...

    John Deere 310E Backhoe with trans fluid pushing up dipstick?

    JL Sargent, thanks for your quick reply. Did your hoe quit moving in forward and reverse? And at the same time had the overfill condition? Or did it still go into forward and reverse and move under its own power when this occurred? Mine just quit moving in forward and reverse, and when i got...

    changing trans.fluid ?

    Thanks for the info, seems pretty straight forward, except maybe finding the plug in the TQ. Seems funny that there are no filters for this system. Meaning the whole trans.,reverser, brake system. Then again, i guess it's like the inside of a manual transmission in a car,and there's no way of...

    changing trans.fluid ?

    Thanks, I saw the plug yesterday, figured it was to access something in the bell housing but didn't know what. Can i assume that you drain it,replace the plug,put the recommended amount of hyd.fluid in (8 qts if I remember right ) and when you start the engine the torque converter will fill up...

    changing trans.fluid ?

    Hi all, I have one more question I'd like to ask. I've decided to change all the fluids and filters on my 1989 jd 210c. It says that it holds 8 qts of oil in the trans. When I drained the oil it sure didn't look like 8qts.to me. Does the torque converter still have oil in it when you drain the...

    oil and hydraulic fluid question

    Hosspuller, could you please explain to me a little more about the tractor supply brand vs.john deere hy gard? I sure don't want to mess up my machine because I saved a few dollars on hydraulic fluid. Truthfully I'm already a little worried about what you wrote, I've been using the travellers...

    You know what they say, when it rains it pours, hydraulic system question

    Hey Tinkerer, you hit the nail on the head,that's where the problem was. I traced the black rubber hose from the hyd.tank to a silver filter almost like a fuel filter located on the firewall, took it apart and blew through it and it wasn't clogged, but the hose leaving the air filter to the...

    You know what they say, when it rains it pours, hydraulic system question

    Tinkerer, I take it number 17 is the air filter? It looks like a regular fuel filter. I'll bet that's what it is. Thanks so much, I'll let you know when i get home later, Lee

    exciting the alternator on a 1989 john deere 210c backhoe

    Repowerguy, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the acc.circuit is energized while the switch is in the run position that means the excite circuit would be energized the whole time the machine is running correct? I was under the impression that the excite circuit should only be energized for a...

    exciting the alternator on a 1989 john deere 210c backhoe

    Delmer, it sure does. I think from reading Repowerguy and your messages,i was assuming that the acc.and the run position circuits were one and the same. When I thought about it i knew that they couldn't be. Because when the key is in the run position it would be possible for both circuits to be...

    exciting the alternator on a 1989 john deere 210c backhoe

    Delmer, I knew what the acc.position was for,but i did not know that it was active with the key in the on position. So just to be sure I'm getting this right, you're saying if i hook any 12v load to the acc.side of the ignition switch it will have power when the switch is on acc.and also when on...
