I have the same parts sheet. But I still can't locate it. I thought it would be next to the filler cap, but it isn't. Is it more to the front,down below, can't find the critter !!

It will be located in front of rear axle trumpet near the bottom of trans case.

Thanks Jim, I think I see it. I'll let you know later today when I drain the fluid .The parts image says it has six bolts. Wish I could put my phone # here and you could text me a pic. I don't think we are allowed. Catch you later

Thanks Jim, That was it !! After I drained the oil, I took off the two bolts that hold the cover on. When I pulled the strainer out I couldn't believe how much metal was on the strainer. I can't believe the hydraulics worked. Now the backhoe operates like new. Again, thanks a million !!!!

You're very welcome. I'm glad you got it operating although metal in strainer doesn't sound good. Jim

Yeah, quite a bit of metal. I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned it out. Tractor is a 1998 so that's 20 years. Had to do a little work on it. The backhoe had a bent boom . I cut out about 18" of it and welded in new 1/4" steel. Works good now.
