Ck30 Hydraulic filter assembly

Was able to get it up to firmer ground using long straps and chain with truck on the driveway for solid traction. Ground just too soft from the pig rootings. Then was able to tow it on to drive and back home inside the fence.

Took bucket off and enough tension with strap to keep quik attach off the ground.

Got the broken filter housing off, getting new one back on could be a challenge.

Seems maybe I should have ordered O rings, but only 1 shown. Anyone know O Ring specs?

Banjo bolt had no washers at all.

Broken housing

Very nice Jabelding.
Where you live in Maine? Born and raised. Most of my time south in Kittery, South Berwick, York Beach, but haven稚 lived there since late 70痴.

I am up in the Bangor area now but grew up in southern Maine near sebago.

Sadly, the parts didn’t arrive today. Hopefully Monday.

I got mine badly bogged and in the effort of trying to get it out ,I used aluminium ramps that unfortunately managed to smash my housing off.
The worst part was lying on my back in the mud with oil everywhere fitting the new one on. I should have got a medal for that one.
Didn't help get the tractor out though. It still took a couple of weeks before I managed to free it.

Doesn’t sound like fun at all.
I have my parts, just need find time, hopefully early this week.

Hydraulic filter assembly installed, tractor back in operation.
Actually pretty easy to install by taking HST filter out, which I had planned to change anyway.
So 2 new hydro filters and about 7 gallons new fluid.

At bit harrowing for a bit, nothing worked. Fluid level was just below top mark. Air had burped out during fill, but perhaps some still trapped. Was beginning to think I had other problems like maybe the pump was toast. Took a break, perused the workshop manual, can’t say that was helpful in the least. When back up to tractor, checked level, started and then kept moving anything hydraulic - FEL, rear remotes, 3 point, steering, HST pedal (in neutral). Finally, while turning steering wheel and loader control same time a spark of life. Spent a couple minutes exercising everything, put it in M and drove it back to tractor shed. Seems to be working great.
Happy camper here
