My hunt club has a '57 TO-35 and the 3pt lift doesn't work sometimes. There's supposed to be a filter (or screen?) for the hydraulic fluid inside the trans. housing on the lefthand side, just behind a round access cover. I think the cover is also where the PTO engagement lever exits the tranny, but I'm going by memory on that so I could be wrong.
Is it possible to pull the round access cover off, and remove the filter for cleaning/replacement without draining all the fluid out? Seems like the round cover is probably above the fluid line, so we were wondering if we could check the filter without pulling the drain plug. Or should we just go ahead and plan on pulling the plug??? We just want to pull the filter and make sure it's not clogged up or anything. Thanks!
