    Hydraulic Lines damaged often

    It is difficult to see from your photo where the lines are running to but is it possible to replace the hard lines with flexible lines and do a complete reroute?

    Tractor PTO Sensor Plug

    Would it be possible for you to post some pictures of the plug, wire and location? Can't seem to find pto sensor on parts list.

    Greasing your machine....The hate/hate relationship.

    I hear your pain!! I just usually use rags and sometimes WD40 if I want it good and clean. No difference really just using a different thinning agent.

    M9000 Dumping Oil

    Typically speaking to get the best chance of a diagnosis over the internet it is best to provide as much information as possible. A few pictures always help as well. Check engine and trans/hydraulic oil to see if the levels are down.

    Bleeding fuel system?

    Unless I have missed something in the previous replies I don't think you mentioned if you have checked fuel flow to see if there is a restriction somewhere? Also not sure if your tractor has a fuel lift pump but would be good to check as well. Hope this helps!!

    PTO Possibilities and Probabilities

    Pto moving on older tractors was somewhat normal. Not so much on newer tractors especially when they are engaged by an hydraulic clutch/brake. Not sure which engagement you have so that would have to be determined first. Here is a video of an L3901 with cable activated hydraulic pto clutch...

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    It seems to have more of an oil consistency rather than a grease. I do understand what you mean about the oil separating from grease, however I do not use red grease. I use moly grease on pretty much everything (black in color). Marvel mystery oil is becoming more plausible...... Haha Guess...

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    I have not checked lately but believe I have about 300 hours on it and have owned it since new. Relatively few hours for it's age, I know, I certainly use it less than I have my previous tractors. No off road diesel, no dyed hydraulic fluid and I do not use red grease. Maybe assembly lube...

    Axles

    Good for him to make this video!! I've always liked most of his videos. I am surprised to see something like this and wish we had more discussions about these sorts of things. Find that all to often you have the full force of corporate lawyers coming down on anyone that tries to draw attention...

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    The front axle had UDT in it but I have replaced that with 80w90 gear oil. Both of which are golden/honey colored. The tube that covers the front drive shaft is completely dry. If the substance were coming from the front I would think I would see evidence of it on that tube..? I had thought of...

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    Sorry for the slow response. Life always seems to get in the way. I have some pictures in different lighting situations because I know it is sometimes hard to judge color on a screen. There wasn't much of a drop left on the drain since the last time I wiped it off. Hopefully it is enough. 2 pics...

    Thank you for your reply. Antifreeze is green and no off road diesel being used,

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    Thank you for your reply. I am pretty sure it is not rust. Has more of a pinkish color to it instead of a brownish red. Antifreeze is green.

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    Good Day!! Was hoping someone might have some insight to my issue. I have an MX4700 DT geared tractor with front wheel assist. I have recently noticed some slight seepage coming from the clutch bell housing drain. I understand that this is typically the result of the front drive shaft seal...

    M135X transmission issue

    First off I would not continue letting the clutch pack slip. It might be the clutch discs are in need of replacement but it could also be a problem with hydraulic pressure since the clutch is hydraulically activated. These wet clutches usually last a long time if not abused. Since you say you...

    L2900 cut off during use. Engine turns over, but won't start.

    What Jerry said, and also I would check engine oil level to see if it is overfilled. Usually a tell tale sign if the mechanical lift pump has failed and allowing fuel into the crank case. Hope this helps!!

    No 4WD light on MX tractors .... kind of annoying.

    Um.. Pretty easy to install an indicator light if you really want it.. Just sayin..
