07wingnut, Thanks for the info. I'm not good at all identifying engine parts so I went ahead and got the JD AM107421 kit. It cost me more but it was easier for me to install. I used a picture from the TractorByNet forum mentioned by a couple of posters above. That made everything clear. Nothing...

I’ve had the click and not start problem (off and on) for quite a while on my L2850DT. About three years ago I had the starter replaced after a mechanic advised that was likely the problem. Three months later they replaced it again under warranty (I still had to pay for labor). It was not...

Thanks to all of you for your advice. The solid negative opinions against stop leak (and especially what Lugbolt wrote) convinced me to not use it. I was unable to put the inside seal in the the one end but a friend of a friend had a son who was able to do it for me. Everything is back...

Thanks.

Thanks for all of the advice. I am disappointed in the advice against the use of the leak stop but you all should know better then I. I did find the sight glass and the fluid seems to be up to the bottom line (about 1/3 from bottom to top). One more question. What is the filling cap in my...

I have a L2850 DT (4X4) which is leaking hydraulic fluid from one of the pistons that tilt the bucket. I have read that BlueDevil Hydraulic Stop Leak is a good solution to this problem. The leak is not real bad but has been happening for quite a while and is getting worse. My problem is two...

I put the front wheels in a ditch and checked the glass site, then I put the rear wheels in the ditch and checked the glass site again. Neither time could I see any difference from when the tractor was on the level. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

My bit of land is very flat. When I can I'll take it to the ditches and see if I can get the different angles and look again. Yes, there is a fill port on the top of the tranny. The cap on it simply says "oil". I believe the engine oil is filled from the top of the engine. I found the cap for...

When I checked the bottle this morning, there was no foam at all - it was just filled full with liquid. It does not look milky. It looks like an oil but the color was more like split pea soup. It seemed more yellow when it was squirting out. I don't know what clean hydraulic oil looks like.

I only find one breather hose. It is located on top of what I believe to be the hydraulic fluid tank. This tank appears to be filled by removing a red cap just above the PTO. The tank (and breather hose) are located below the seat. When I had the deteriorated hose off and ran the 3-point hitch...

I will look at the tractor in the morning to answer questions asked in posts 8, 9, & 10. Thanks so much for the responses - all of you.

I ordered a new site glass today. Thanks for the suggestion.

First of all I checked for the site glass for the hydraulic fluid. I found it but cannot determine a level as the glass is all yellowed to the point of being opaque. Is there another way to check the fluid level? Next I attached a hose to the breather hose and ran it to a clear, plastic, 12 oz...

Thanks for the three replies received. The fluid leaking sure looks like oil and does not seem to be foaming at all. After Bulldog mentioned the site glass, I remembered having seen reference to that elsewhere. I recall looking at it and finding it difficult to see the level of the oil. I'll...

Recently purchased an L2850DT. It has less than 1600 hours. I used the front end loader some (no real heavy loads) and the 3-point hitch quite a bit. There had been no leaks until last week. Then I noticed a significant amount of hydraulic oil at the back of the tractor (below the seat). I...
