Hydraulic filter location on mitsubishi mt372d tractor

[slappyhoeman]

Where is the hydraulic filter located on a mitsubishi mt372d tractor? lift works fine when starting out but gets sluggish and jumpy the longer it runs. hydraulics and trans share 80w gaer oil?

it is on the lower right side of the case. it is a semi oval/diamond shaped plate with two bolts. be ready with a bucket though. Also I was told that something was lost in the translation with the 80w gear oil. I was told to use a universal hydraulic/trans fluid by a repair shop.

I use UDT also and it has done fine for several years, yea the filter is a mesh screen, easy to clean.

thanx for the info. didn't know anything about the universal trans/hyd fluid. was told the 3 point was designed to work with 80w gear oil but implements like loaders would not(i don't have a loader). what is a good quality trans/hyd fluid,what's the cost and where can it be purchased(at auto parts store or tractor dealership)

Wal-Mart, Rotella tractor hydraulic oil in the automotive section.
Mystic in the blue pail, purchased at most tractor stores and several auto parts stores.
