50 Hour Service Question

[tkappeler]

I am about to perform the 50 hour service on my T293 and had a few questions because the owner's manual ... ummm ... sucks. First the manual shows a single engine oil drain plug but there are two bolt heads, one on each side of the drive shaft. From a separate thread here, I now know that these two are the drain plugs. OK. Easy enough.

Now the only remaining question is: Where is the strainer that the manual describes when talking about the Hydraulic/Trans fluid?

The manual states
1) to loosen the hose clamp and pull off the hose.
2) Remove the bolt
3) Pull out strainer
4) Clean and replace.

Which hose clamp? Where is this hose and bolt. All I see near the hydraulic fluid drain is a rubber hose with a 90 degree bend in it with 2 bolts attached to a plate connected to the hose.

Anyone have a T293 service manual in PDF form that they do not mind sharing?

It is at the end of the pipe. Rubber elbow, suction side where fluid comes out of the bottom of the reservoir. There are two bolts to remove. I don't think I changed my hydo fluid at only 50 hr, but if that's what your manual said then do it.

Your dealer can print you a shop manual but there may be a charge. Even if someone had the PDF it is way to large to email. Sorry.

Use Pando - it's free and you can e-mail 1 gig at a time.

To date, I still do not have an owner's manual for my 233 or a service manual or ANY manual... except the wife.... she thinks she is my manual on everything cause she always seems to know what to do... so she keeps trying to convince me anyway.
