TC 40A What's hydro in the drive

[kossetx]

Guys, I was piling some brudh this weeken when a limb came up and knocked the top curl hose QC loose/off. I got off and reconnected it but when I got back on the tractor it wouldn't move. I checked the fluids and the hydraulic fluid was off the dipstick. Is the clutch Hydraulic on this tractor? The area around the QC didn't show like it had much oil loss sprayed over it but maybe it did lose some. I didn't have any fluid on hand so I just left it there untill I get some and get back.

Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for any info. MP

There is no fluid related components of your drivetrain except for lubrication. The PTO clutch is hydraulic, but the main clutch is completely mechanical. Something else must have failed or been damaged by the brush (think linkage). That's my guess.

Well, I did check the linkage before I left but it looked fine. Not a whole lot of linkage on the clutch. I was moving when it was knocked off. Thanks though.
