New B21 owner. Did my 50 HR service and now the oil strainer for the HST charge pump leaks. Part of the service requires this screen to be cleaned. When I removed this strainer from the tank it seemed loose fitting. The grove & O-ring looked fine but was loose after reinstalling. Now it leaks. The service guys say you have to replace O-ring. I think the strainer is just a little loose and allow the O-ring to flop around too much?
Otherwise I have been very pleased with the B21. It’s one tough little machine.
Might try your local hardware store and see if they have an o-ring the same diameter but slightly "thicker". My B2400 has 2 o-rings, 1 at the bolt head and 1 on trans side of pick-up tube from strainer. Could it be the inner is misaligned? Good Luck
Leak fixed. It was just a simple mistake when reassembling the strainer into the tank. I installed the keeper incorrectly on top of the strainer instead of the grove provided for it.
Since I had to drain a couple gallons of UDT out I decided to just replace it. My hydraulic system is well flushed now.
My picture is probably a little misleading. Here I’m just moving the stump after I separated it from the tree. I don’t actually dig the stump out. I just dig around the root-ball then attach a chain to the tree about 25’ up and pull it over. The tree does all the work pulling the stump out. I’m getting ready to pull <font color="blue">this one</font> out tomorrow. You can see I have the chain already to go.
The bigger challenge is moving the stump afterwards. I try to knock off as much dirt as possible but they weigh much more than FEL can handle. To get better traction I fill the FEL with dirt then I start tugging, pulling, flipping and rolling the **** thing back to my holler.
It’s fun to watch’em take off & disappear down there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
