I have a 580B backhoe that spun bearing last yr. We pulled the motor and fixed it and now the motor runs just fine. But, It seems that it developed a pretty good leak right where the motor and the bell housing connect. It is hydro fluid not engine oil.
I am certainly no mechanic but isn't that area dry and therefore it doesn't need a gasket? Why would I have hyro fluid leaking from there.
Also, the backhoe didn't seem to want to move too well, especially in higher gears, like most older hoes. So, I changed the terrible looking hyro oil ( hy-trans untra)with new. It seemed to help a bit. But, I did not change the hydro filter. I can't seem to find the part # for it. Would changing this filter also help the hoe backhoe move easier or would it just be minimal? Thanks.
