Hello fluid spraying everywhere!!

[city_boy_done_good]

Title is meant to be YELLOW fluid, ok that's not the best title, didn't meant anything by it.

Working today with my t1510 - 4x4 HST 30hp 67hrs, driving forward I was turning full left and was looking behind me, my front right tire hit a tree root and kind of slid down the side of it. I backed up to grab more branches with the tippers on my box blade and found i could not turn to the right, I look down and there is yellowish fluid spraying onto the front LEFT axle and tire. I shut it down and will try and get an on site mechanic but any ideas what this might be a what sort of $$$ damage I might have done.

Thanks!

Oily ??? likely hydraulic fluid from the power steering hose you pulled out.

Figure out which hose or hydraulic line. Go to the dealer and get a new one plus a o-ring for the fitting if it's used. Pick-up a gallon or two of fluid to replenish what was lost.

Get your wrenches together and fix it. About $100 for hose & fluid.

About $250 if the field service guy comes out.

OK, so the problem was not a pulled hose, it was a hose to the power steering with a hole in it that looked like it had been cut.

Well, replaced the hose, topped up hydraulic fluid, then today it happens again. It looks like the hose get pushed up against a flywheel at the front of the crank shaft and wears through.

So, my question is, shouldn't there be some sort of shield in front of the flywheel? I'm guessing I popped it off causing my problems.

Correction ... the hose rubs against a pulley at the front of the crankshaft

The same thing happened to mine. I replaced the hose and used a large zip tie to pull the hose down away from the Pully. When you get the tractor extreme off camber it pushes the hose up towards the pully. Hope this helps.
