I started my B2400 up in cold weather, about 0 degrees F. I was letting it warm up. I went in for some coffee. Upon my return the tractor was not running and there was hydraulic fluid all over the ground. Lying on the ground there was a 1.5 inch circular rubber seal/cover/plug. It came from the underside of the b2400 near the center. Anyone have any idea what system it came from? Should I replace it, warm the b2400 up, add hydraulic fluid and try to start the tractor? Or is there something else I should be concerned about? Thanks Tomf
I can't figure out why it would have blown because the tractor was in neutral nor did I operate the hydraulic system. Update: The clutch is in to start the tractor.
Update: I'm pretty sure the circular thing is a plug associated with the clutch shaft/propeller shaft. It is item 100 on the attached "Clutch shaft" pdf file. From the "clutch housing" pdf file the housing appears to have a pipe bringing fluid in and a pipe taking fluid out. Can anyone confirm this?
I'm guessing the outlet pipe was blocked due to the cold and with no where else to go, the fluid popped the plug. I'm hoping once the tractor warms up all should be good.
Any insight or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks Tomf
