I have a Farmtrac 665 DTC and the hydraulics quit.
I read where someone said to remove the left rear footboard and you'd see a round cover, open it and you can access a screen to clean.
By left rear foot board do they mean take off the entire deck that your feet set on ? Because mine does not appear to have a left and right section, it appears to be one piece.
Is the round cover they speak off, the entire top cover of the rear end that sits under the deck ?
Now, before I go do that...
My hydraulics had been weak, they suddenly stopped and my steering became difficult so I changed the fluid and filters. When I was through, still no hydraulics.
I happened to think that maybe I should check the hydraulic filter(gear drive, engine driven & mounted pump) again, and when I took it off, it was bone dry and completely empty.
So, should I even bother cleaning that screen in the transaxle ? Or just rebuild the pump ?
Anyone have a PN for the pump rebuild kit ? Sundowner blew me off. Hadn't heard anything from Kaul in New York yet, though.
