GC2300 hydraulic service

[mewaschuk]

Trying to change the hydro fluid in my GC2300 but when i pull the drain plug (lower bolt near filter) and the filter no oil comes out. Fill plug is removed too. Any suggestions?

The drain plug in near the back of the oil pan under the right axle. Are you cleaning the suction screen as well?

Prob but didn稚 pull wheel. So drain is not the bolt right next to the filter? 2 bolts right next to each other. Thx.

The 2 bolts next to the filter are referred to as "plugs" in the schematics. Probably holes left from the casting/machining of the HST housing.

There are some similar size bolts going into the transmission from the side that hold the right-hand axle cover to the case.

The drain plug is inserted vertically into the bottom of the right axle cover about 3-4 inches from the filter. Number "4" on the picture.

The suction pickup is on the left side of the transmission case, with a hose leading from it. There is a banjo fitting with two O-rings and a wire mesh screen on it to filter out particles from the hydraulic fluid.
