Hi Everyone,
Have to make the repair myself $$$ and I'm a girl...but I usually can figure out things with a little guidance. That's why I'm asking.
I bought a Ford 2000 over two years ago. I hardly use it, just shredding and some post holes. Well I bought it from a guy who used to tell me how to make repairs, alternator, wiring and little things. He sadly passed away
Long story short: I replace the fluid with UTF after it was milky and foaming. I believe now it was wrong and I listened to the Sales Guy...So I go out to shred and the lift starts to hiccup and then won't work at all. I lift the shredder up (finally after waiting minutes) and start heading in and notice fluid leaking out the small line into the top of the pump.
I now realize from reading and not doing my homework first that I probably should have used the FHTF and replaced a filter and cleaned a screen....(I know, quit shaking your heads)
So here are the questions:
Drain the UTF and buy Ford fluid?
Take the INTake? (smaller one) line off and replace "O" ring seal that I blew?
To find the filter and screen I have to take off the seat,
then access plate?
I am appreciating all the help in advance: Thank You.
