MX5200 Transmission Fluid Hose

[jim0316]

A branch got stuck under the tractor which resulted in losing all of the transmission fluid. The fluid was pouring out of the lower end of a clear vinyl hose. The hose was either cut by the branch or the branch pulled it off of whatever it is connected to. Can anyone tell me what the hose connects to?
Would appreciate any advice.

Look for a hose barb that's missing its hose. Should be within the radius of the hose in some direction

You're going to have to show a picture because none of the hydraulics run in any clear vinyl tubing.

Here are the photos of the hose.

That looks like the engine crankcase ventilation hose and should be connected to the valve cover on the engine. The other end just hangs down out of the way on older engines but is fed back into the air intake on newer engines. I don’t think it would have anything to do with the hydraulic system.

Where does the opposite end connect to?

The hose in the picture is of the hose coming down from the cup around your fuel tank fill. There would never be any oil in it, only fuel if you overfill the tank.
You need to keep looking for your hydraulic leak.

OP states hydraulic fluid was coming out of this. Is there anyway you can think of that hydraulic fluid would get into the fuel fill area?

@jim0316
Can you post a picture of the tank fill area to see if it is dry or coated in hydraulic oil? Also see if your fuel tank is over full or not.

If the hose was connected to the engine then I would suspect that the hydraulic pump seal failed and pumped the crankcase full of hydraulic fluid. Please check the engine oil level just since it is simple to do.

There is a little funnel that sits around the fuel fill, this hose runs from it down the RH side of the engine to drain any spilled fuel. The only way to get hydraulic oil in it would be to pour it in.

The tractor probably has a steering hose leaking that is spraying oil onto the drain hose.
