when you take it off , slacken the centre bolt holding it on on 3 turns and then tap the filter on the side with a hammer to unseat it , it will let the oil drain out before unscrewing fully

Yes , even if it has trailer braking it should come off ok just a bit more mess

Haven’t got a tractor to take a picture of it , just going from memory

Try taking the small hose off that feeds the manifold and making sure it is clear , a welding rod will push the filter out with a bit if force , also make sure your mole grips or clamp are completely nipping the return tothe gearbox

are you sure you are clamping the right hose, there is a small hose going to a manifold of three pipes on the RH side of the battery , 2 pipes coming off it go to brake cylinders and the third returns into gearbox top , it needs clamping , this is for 84 series , also the one small hose that...

Hello, does any one have any cures for a MLT 634 that gets hot when doing hard work , fitted with a merc engine , radiator clean , coolant changed and flushed , new thermostat fitted , give it hard work and gauge goes up and buzzer comes on , any suggestions ? thanks

You can’t see oil or dip it from the filler plug , sounds like the transmission/ hyd filter needs changing first , big filter in front of left hand half shaft

used oil stays on better than new , but is messy

UTTO is just transmission oil is it not ?

You should not put gear oil in a 956 or 1056 , they definitely had hytran in them and a lot less oil than a 955 or a 1055 gearbox

If it is a 955 it needs gear oil in the gearbox, 15 gallons from memory , needs pumping in throgh the level plug on LH side of gearbox under cab, a 956 uses hy tran and is a pressure lube system where the 955 is a oil bath system

When Euro brackets came out there was one type only , others were trima, tanco , grays , Chillton, and quicke , and then some bright spark started calling other euros
