smithy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 The other week i had the low pressure transmission light come on while driving the JCB it was worrying as i thought transmission was about to pack up ,i was loading wheat at the time so had to keep going ,it was still driving fine had a quick look and could not see anything hanging off so as we had another 3 loads to load i crossed my fingers and kept going ,a few days later i noticed it had a bit of oil underneath it from over night ,because there is not a lot of space around engine/transmission i could not see a lot anyway it was do to have filters changed as it was April time when i bought it a few years ago and do them yearly ,Goody had already got me the filters and oils ,i also pulled out the transmission suction gauze to see if anything stuck in it as maybe a clutch-pack was breaking up but that was as clean as can be . Anyway got camera on phone and stuck it up and around the bits that you cant see and saw this transmission sender unit which looked damaged and leaking ,a right so and so of a job to get to it had to cut a 24mm spanner in half as just no room then got a bit of batten wood about 2 feet long and pushed on spanner and gave bottom of wood a sharp blow with a hammer and it moved was then able to unscrew it by hand but all working blind and yes it had snapped and was leaking . So gave goody a call and we got a new one which came with a short bit of cable as electric connection had changed over the years and was a conversion adapter ,also new one was only 22mm so had to cut another spanner in half to put it back in bit of a job but with the help of my son for a hr we managed it and got it tight and so far its all back running as it should 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
