1995 L355SS issues

I have a fuel leak from the rear injectors return hose at the injector barb. I cant seem to raise thge dash, the shuttel shifter dosent have a way to disconnect from the out side. The dash will only raise an 1". Any way to run a new hose or splice the old? Maybe a better hose clamp? I also hear a clanking or bearing coming from the front of the engine (or front end), it only make noise when driving. Becasue Im driving I cant identify the source. Ideas?

You should be able to remove the panel in front of the fuel tank and get access to the top of the fuel tank to replace the fuel re6 hose. Check the front axle lube. You have 3 spots to check. Right left and center. Also check the drive line center support.

Your front noise could also be loose lash on the front axle carrier (pivot point), check that.

Ive corrected the fuel line and added 80-90 on both iside of the frone end. Where is the center located and the drive line center suppport?

Do you have the WSM?

Do you have the WSM?

I have 3 PDFs . Owners manual, service manual and parts manual

Look under the front axle or steering section and it should have a procedure to check / Adjust the front pivot lash.

My parts manual lists 005 as front axel support. Cant find a lash. Also how do you get to the plug on top? Looks kind of buried. Another thought, might the squeaking be from the water pump bearing? (but it only squeaks when driving)

Here is what your dealing with.
Pull #11 plug, and install a grease zerk and grease the joint and see if that helps.
Any more than that will take some serious work.

I don't know of any plugs on top of the case just the fill plugs out by the tires.

Drain plug.

Thanks, now things make sense. Your exploded view looks like my machine. The PDF’s I bought, don’t quite match.

Looks like the noise MIGHT be the alternator, going to let it goes until it fails. I went to clean the hydraulic filter, put a bucket under it and cracked the 3 bolts a bit. Tractor was cold. It kept draining and after about 4 quarts I tightened back up. I didn’t see a shut off in the manual. What should I do different?

Confused as to your question?

Confused as to your question?

The hydraulic oil kept flowing as I tryied to open the bottom of the hydraulic oil filter. I thought I might get a pint, not 4 quarts. What should I di to clean the screen and not get a mess?

Ok now I got it.
Yea the Oil filter on that requires you to drain the whole case to do it.
I use a drain pan and several 5 gallon buckets to drain and transfer to as it's draining.
