B2400HSD Broken HST filter bracket and problem
I got a large limb jammed up under the tractor a couple of weeks ago and it broke the HST filter bracket and dumped the fluid. I got the parts in, new short steel line that runs from the rear end to filter, O-rings, filter and fluid. When I put it all back together it is leaking (constant drip not spray) where the two lines connect to the filter base/bracket.
Pretty difficult to tell but it looks to be coming from the steel line running to the front of the tractor (cooler/pump). I installed new O-rings at all connection points but when connecting the long line I had to straighten it a bit to get the pipe to go into the filter mount. I think the fluid dump came from that same area not the filter itself, the bracket was jammed pretty good by the limb.
I'm thinking that the flange is not pulling up flush to the bracket on one side maybe bent/canted from the impact and need that line new as well.
Is there any secret technique to the double O-ring installation? I've worked on the hydraulic banjo fittings before with no issues but this is my first time with the flanged double O-ring fitting. Looks pretty bullet proof unless the flange is bent.
As far as installing I insert both lines with O-rings into bracket then insert the bolts and get everything lined up and then tighten alternating so one is not canted etc. finally bolt the bracket to the transmission does not appear to be under any stress just insert bolt and tighten.
