OK don't listen

Measure voltage drop using the method I describe not ohms with your multimeter. This is a much easier and accurate test.

After rereading my post I wanted to make myself more clear. By testing I am saying testing of the ign. switch. So test from batt terminal on the switch to the glow plugs terminals on the switch. Also the circuit has to be complete and loaded when performing a voltage drop test

As @NIW asked what is the voltage with the ign. sw. in the crank position? The glow plug circuit goes through the glow plug in the preheat position so the voltage and current will be limited during preheat. During cranking the circuit goes directly to the glow plugs so you will get battery...

I have already read the entire thread. Here is the cover of the WSM manual. The poppet you reference is from the exact same location on the HST housing as the one I posted. The image I posted is from the disassembly/assembly section. From experience parts and service manual diagrams can vary...

I did not direct him to remove the high pressure reliefs. I asked if he had removed the charge relief and not the high pressure reliefs. I am looking at the BX1870 WSM posted on the Kubotabooks site.

You did remove the charge relief and inspect as seen in yellow below and not the high pressure relief/check valves in red correct? You can leave the poppet, spring and shims out temporarily as a test. That should direct all charge flow back to the sump unless there is blockage downstream to the...

Is the filter separating the canister from the base and leaking at the seam or is it deforming the base and leaking at the gasket? If at the gasket is it possible that the threaded insert has been damaged and the filter gasket is not square with the base as has been mentioned? If the filter is...

Anything put into the sump would have to go through the strainer, the hyd. pump, the priority valve, the steering controller, the filter and then into the HST to the charge relief.

One question. Does the filter blow out when just starting and idling the machine. or when you increase engine speed or when you move the machine and if that which direction?

Possibly swap the wheels left for right. Although extending the wheels on the front axle does put added stress on the axle and steering components.

I have one of the Harbor Freight/Holt oil evacuators and it works well enough for what I use it for. There are better built ones but as long as you treat it well it holds up

Download the WSM from the Kubotabooks website. It has all the disassembly/assembly instructions in it.

When in the locked position the spring should be compressed like it is in the image.

It appears this is normal operation looking at the clearer schematic provided by @MyAxleBroke. If you look below at the drawn over copy you will see that when the swing spool is shifted it does not fully block the center passage like the other spools do, it only restricts the flow. This will...
