I hope I'm not the guy with the problem tractor.I had such great feedback on my last difficulties, bleeding the fuel system. I actually was able to get some work done, she was running strong. However I find myself in need of advice once again. Not that long ago my JCB 1400b transmission would not engage I checked the fluid it looked like peptobismo. I suspected it had water in it, could have been from the tranny cooler. Although I pressure checked it, it was an old part and looked sad so I replaced it. I added the new fluid and presto problem solved...So I thought. Yesterday, I just finished a good days work and what do you know it just stopped and the transmission wont engage again. I added 1 quart of fluid and it moved about 500 feet then stopped again. She was warm but certainly not over hot.Today I'm draining the tranny once more, peptobismo again.... i hope to get it up to the barn for a closer look. I suspect I may have a transmission problem. Any thoughts? comments are always appreciated. Also is it normal for the fluid to drain so slowly it just trickling out.:beatsme Bucket
