    M8540 transmission will not pull up a hill after backing down

    That may be true. All I know is that the spring is missing. But it is troubling that I cannot pull the clutch pedal full up, especially if a spring could....

    M8540 transmission will not pull up a hill after backing down

    I ordered a spring which should be here soon. BTW, Messicks said they had sold only 5 in the last two years and Winchester Equipment said the same. Lucky me! The last bolt, #70 on the diagram, is behind a piece of tape and is exactly at the level of the arc of the hood (bonnet). Whether up...

    M8540 transmission will not pull up a hill after backing down

    The spring marked 100 on the diagram seems to be missing, although I do not yet have the orange plastic cowl over the clutch assembly (and instrument cluster) totally off. With 4 obvious fasteners off, the cowl is loose except at the center top where it is tight. Is there another fastener at...

    M8540 Hyd shuttle won't move cold (<30F)

    This is a new issue for us. 2006 model we bought new, about 1200hrs now. If temp is < about 30F, the F N R shuttle will not move until the tractor is started and warmed up. SUDT has been recommended. We are running UDT. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
