The tractor has two filter elements with metal screens behind the pump intake elbow that is located ahead of the right axle housing. It also has one spin on filter ahead and above of this intake that according to the dealer is for the 'priority hydraulic system' or something like that. No loss of of service on brakes, steering, 3point hitch, or auxiliary valves. The tractor does not have a trans brake. The two dealers I talked to said that they didn't think any damage would happen from running it in low - in effect whatever damage was done was already done and that I wouldn't damage anything else besides the TA if I did this. I'm in a bit of a bind as this is the only tractor I have with enough traction to pull the disk and packer. There were no o-rings on the filters, even though some came with the new ones. They just went onto holders with the only o-ring being on the intake elbow where it bolted back on. Agreed about running it in high - I'm leaving the lever in low until I can get this resolved. It seems to me that if the MCV pump was weak I would be seeing it in the steering or brakes not working well, wouldn't I?
