FORD 3000 HOW DO YOU REMOVE THE HYRAULIC FILTER

Try searching a little in the archives of the Ford forum. The link below is to a tread I started a while ago for the Hydraulics on my 3000. My issue still isn't resolved, but I have narrowed it down to the position/draft control adjustments.

To get at both hydraulic filters, drain the fluid, remove the seat, remove the transmission top cover, and remove the PTO shaft. I also removed the left floor board, but I can't remember if that was necisary. I also think there was an access cover on the left side that needed to be removed.

The attached picture is of my tractor after I changed both filters. The rear of the tractor is toward the right, the upper arrow is for the outlet filter, and the lower arrow is for the intake filter.

I don't think it will be possible to remove the filters without removing the top plate. You will need all the room you can get to maneuver the filter assembly around the drive shaft. I was only able to get mine out after removing the PTO shaft and bending the mounting tab on the filter itself. It's a very tight fit and unless you have having hydraulic problems, I wouldn't even attempt to clean it.

Generic Hy-tran might be ok to use. Check the cross reference table on the oil, if the Ford 134 fluid is listed it will be fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't trust it.

It sounds like you might be new to working on tractors, I highly recommend buying an owners manual and an I&T service manual. These will be you best references on using and working on the tractor. Good luck.

Hi, you say they are not worth cleaning without hydraulic problems but what if you are finding a lot of micro metal particals in the case bottom? I had to remove the side plate to locate part of the pto housing snap ring that had broke off. I found a couple of pieces in the rear section and a couple in the hydraulic area.. Would you clean them at that point or just wipe the housing out and reassemble? Just looking for opinion.....
Thanks
