    Measuring hydraulic flow rate B7100

    I like your way Greg. Much simpler and darn sight less messy! I'll try it and see how it compares before and after. Regards, Dennis

    Measuring hydraulic flow rate B7100

    Hi, My hydraulics on the B7100D seem to be getting slower. Before I check the intake filter and change the oil I thought it might be interesting to check the flow rate before and after just in case it isn't a blocked filter. What I had in mind was to disconnect the hydraulic return from the FEL...

    Intermittent squeal at high speed

    My drawing isn't clear and I also looked at Messicks version which is a little clearer. The bushing (oil seal) goes in at the top. At the bottom it is the rubber boot that provides separation and mine had taken on a warp but no way can it touch the propshaft. Try what I did first. Have a look at...

I then started the tractor up, engaged 4wd and top gear. Opened the throttle to mid range till the squealing started. Felt the propshaft...

One year later, I still have the same problem so split the tractor today to see if it was the clutch release bearing. (throw out bearing). It looks OK to me, not rough or dry so I...
