Hello,
I accidentally put a hole in the trans/hydraulic filter while cleaning up some brush. I figured this would be a good time to change the filter and clean the screen. While at the Mahindra dealer getting the filter the guy at the counter said any good Hy-Trans fluid will work, so I picked up the Tractor Supply brand because that was about all that was available locally.
Now I am getting very weak response from the steering even with the front on jacks and no hydraulic response at the loader or 3-point. Do you think I burned up the pump? It only ran for about 30 seconds with the hole in the filter and still had plenty of fluid in it when I changed the filter and cleaned the screen.
Also, I have read on here that the transmission fluid level is supposed to be checked with the tractor running. Where does it say that in the manual? I've checked the service manual and the operator's manual and they do not say that the engine needs to be running.
Thanks
