Is it the same as the transmission filter? I cannot find a number for it or anything wanted to order one online today and get it on its way. I have drained the transmission all three drain plugs and am going to run some diesel thru it.and then clean the transmission screen. Do I take the power steering pump off the side to clean a filter on it? THANKS ALL live webcam of tractor in the shop [Reply]   [No Email]

Is the screen part of the tube suppose to have a "hole about the size of a pencil in the end of the screened tube? It has a magnet inside the screen part and up the tube part where it attaches to the pump. But, I don't know if it is suppose to have the "hole" in the end cap of the screened in tube. Hope that makes sense. me working on the mf 85 in real time   [Reply]  [No Email]
