Lac qui Parle County Minnesota | Was finishing up a field this morning and could smell hot oil. There was smoke coming out from under the cab and when I took a look hydraulic oil was coming out the weep hole at a pretty good clip. Transmission pressure light came on at around 1200 rpms when you idle back.
I didn't lose hydraulics or dual power. Call a shop guy and he thought it was the hydraulic line going in under the right side of the cab. I thought maybe a seal. Ideas? Am I looking at an expensive repair?
If Bern is reading this, your suggestion for the oil cooler for the power steering works great. However, there still gets air in the system. Is there some kind of internal check valve to keep the oil from returning to the pump?
I'm not losing any power steering fluids and no more oil leaks at the steering motor.
Another thing, when the tractor gets warm, I lose brakes. I read somewhere that happens when there is water in the brake fluid. That correct?
Thank you for any input!
