L225

L225 changed hydraulic line for FEL but now tractor won't move in high range, also no PTO in high range

Ok that's a new one...

There is nothing on your tractor even remotely connecting the hydraulic and gear system????

Explain exactly what it happened.

Except that the trans, diff and hydraulics all use the same fluid reservoir

It ran fine for about an hour and a half and slowly needed more and more power to move, low speed everything is working fine but high gear, not so much

Any bad amount of debris or fluids make it into the new install? I am not sure where in the filter circuit this occurred so it may not matter if before the filter. A little debris in the wrong place can cause some real issues.

How does the fluid look?

My point is that tractor doesn't have a hydraulic clutch, it does not use hydraulic fluid to move it, just to lube it.

The gears are 100% mechanical, if the engine is running up in RPM's, then the only other component in that system is the mechanical clutch, which is not affected by the hydraulic fluid.... well unless you dumped tar, molasses or some other extremely thick hydraulic fluid in it!

Did the hydraulic hose burst and flood the mechanical clutch housing, and get the clutch disk soaked in hydraulic fluid, very unlikely, as it's a sealed case.

You have a mechanical clutch that's giving up, there really isn't much else that it could be!

Now if it's not reaching normal operating RPM's, and dogging down, then we can go another route.

Just curious... Does your tractor have a forward reverse shuttle? Just checking if you have a L275 instead of a L225.
