The HST filter on a BX is filtering the steering return oil which is used as the charge oil. This circuit has a relief valve set at 80-100 PSI. If the filter is plugged, or there is internal damage/failure in the HST, it will swell the filter canister until something fails and dumps the pressure.IF so, what could cause this? If the filter is in the high pressure side of the hydraulic pump, and the filter media plugged up due never being changed, or due to something happening that put lots of contaminants in the fluid, maybe that would be the cause?
