oil plate removel

mike-t · Aug 29, 2017

I have a to 20. I replaced the pto engaugement plate, and found metal fragments in it. I tried to remove the bottom oil plate . removed all bolts, and plate will not come down. one end dropped down the other I tried to lightly pry it with a screwdriver. still would not come off. thanks for any help

Hmmm-the only 'oil plate' on the bottom I can recall is gonna be the pump assy. pto shaft has to come out for sure, & maybe a linkage pin before it will lower.

That's not a cover, that is the bottom of the hyd pump.

You're pretty much committed to taking it out now that the seal is broken. The control linkage needs to come loose first, access that through the round covers on the sides. Then the PTO shaft comes out, 4 bolts on the back. Might want to start a couple bolts back in it so the weight isn't on the shaft and it doesn't fall when the shaft comes out.

What do the metal pieces look like? Chipped gears? Bearing cages?

If you're going into this, a shop manual will be a very useful investment!

Keep us posted.
