HST fluid drip- filter somehow?

[Patiofarmer]

I don't want to sound really cheap... but times are hard.

My 2015 has a slow drip leak of HST fluid. I catch it in a plastic tub underneath. Not a big problem... but just wondering just how "fine" of a filter I'd have to run the wasted fluid thru in order to reuse it.

The fluid only has minor dust particles probably as tractor is kept in closed garage.

I'm not going to do something that will foul up the tractor... but I also need to be careful on costs right now... work is slow.

Any ideas? or Experiences?

Be sure to check the tension on that upper banjo behind the gas tank on the left side. Those have a tendency to work loose and leak a bit. Sometimes a lot..... Just me but I would junk the collected fluid. If it caused a problem down the road the costs might be astronomical. A few quarts of fluid might look pretty cheap at that point.

10-4 on that upper banjo Outlander... I'll look into that.

The drip is on the left side... I'll double check that.

On saving the fluid... I am not going to try it unless someone has a surefire way to do it safely.

Work is down to 4 days a week, and well you know the rest of the story

Four days are better than none, as I was last year; I do hope things pick up for you,though!

Yeah, I know. Thanks for the wishes... but I don't see the people that could fix some of this doing much of anything about it.

All the working man can do is ride the wave. We don't control any of this
