Hey everyone. Im the proud new owner of a 2009 BX2660 with loader and 60 MMM. I bought is on Wednesday for a pretty good price I couldnt pass up butof course it has a few problems I discovered. First, and easiest, half of the engine cover is broken off and the headlight assembly is broke in half so the headlights bounce around.. no thats no big deal just a new engine cover and headlight assembly. The two big problems are the HST fan is missing its blades and I have a large Hydraulic leak. There is times of info on the fan so that is all good what scares me is the hydrolic leak.
When buying it I noticed a lot of crud built up and a slight wetness around the hst filter when buying. It was parked outside I drove it around and check the fluids and everything was fine. I bough it loaded it in trailer and drove 2.5 hours home. I got home, puddle in the trailer fluid still checked okay. Drove it around the yard a little an parked it for the night. The next day, yesterday, there was a large puddle under the tractor behind the MMM and no fluid touching the dipstick. I pulled the MMM to investigate. That is when I seen the fan missing blades :mur: I cleaned the areas around the filter and bottom of the HST. Within a minute there was already a drip running down the side of the filter from above it. I plan on pulling the filter tonight or tomorrow to look at what is above but I am hoping for some insight from all of you. What might be leaking above the filter? I see lines right above the filter. What are those running to? Could they be the leak? Of is there something above there that might be leaking?
Any insight would be helpful before I go digging in. This is my first tractor and first step into anything with hydraulics. But, I am quite mechanically inclined so that helps. Thank you in advance!
