I have a TZ 18 with 400 Hrs on it which equipped with front loader & backhoe. Also have a belly deck on it. I can run the machine with the mower going in a stationary position [meaning not cutting grass] & there's no hydraulic leaking.
Once I'm cutting, I find fluid coating the rear chasis but can't determine the source of the leak.
I did find the lower filter loose a few weeks back & tightened it and the problem seemed to had gone away. But then began again. My guess is I may have overtightened the filter and compressed the gasket to the point where the fluid would spray thru once pressure & heat maxed while cutting. Thing is, the leak is literally not visible. Checked all bolts on the housings, connections & hoses and they're dry.
I just changed both Hydraulic filters but now am waiting for grass to grow to be able to cut with a load. In the meanwhile, anyone have any ideas what can cause the problem?
