Several people tell me to change the filters.... I DID and I stated that in the original post. Suction Filter, Hydraulic filter, hydraulic fluid all changed as stated in the original post, but thank you, anyway. Now... Pete-mi, I think it may have been a previous post of yours which I read stating the "tear drop" because your response is almost identical to what I read before. Sadly, I am too stupid to find the "tear drop". My owners manual does not even mention this filter. The service manual does but it simply shows a picture of a hose which appears to have a coupler. There is not enough detail or description to have any idea at all where this is located. I have searched all around the transmission, hoses leading to it, but again, I must be stupid (or the manual bad?).
JoeyD, thanks, as stated, I was able to change all the filters except the inline screen which I cannot find. I have the service manuals. They are not adequate to help me. They tell me to check, clear or replace but no clear description of location. For your question, No, sorry, I have not yet been able to find the screen filter nor do I have any idea why I must kick the Remove lever to get the 3-pt hitch to work. I know that it must be a valve issue but I was hoping someone here had already conquered the issue, repair, replace, etc. I did not want to remove the seat, and other components again, to tear open that valve to see if I could shim it or somehow fix it, if there was a known solution.
Redneck in Training -- Yes, I know. I posted here because I cannot find that screen filter and wanted help finding it. Thank you.
