MF 30E TLB powershuttle

[6sunset6]

Had this 1985 machine since 88. Various adventures with it but the latest is scary. Goes forward and back but very slow in first and nothing in 4th. I have the manual. Its due for a filter change and I think the two fiilters in the transmission system are cleanable at least thats what my notes say , It has taken me 10 years to put 500 hours on it. But I need orings and seals even if they are cleanable. Plus any thoughts on the problem? Maybe the throttle is stuck but the rpms get up there and the bucket and hoe work fine ,different hyd system but indicates engine power. Maybe the shuttle valve on top of the transmission is stuck? . I hate taking hydraulic stuff apart except filters and hoses.

I am in SE NY The dealer I used does not handle MF anymore. Anybody have a reccommendation for parts.

Thanks Bob

Wheew answered my own question. Took the covers off , cleaned the terminals on the shuttle valve coils , they are just push ons, rapped the valve a couple of times and started it up. Clunk , which I think was the valve clearing it self and all was well. Wrote down evey serial no and PN I could find. Now I have to find a dealer, should change the filters.
