[QUOTE="cowsrus, post: 732575, member: 6485"] I had a low pressure hydraulic line from the pump to the filter blow off of my newly aquired JD when we had some cold weather two weeks ago. It was almost under the back of the cab in a really tight place to get to. I had to take the rear wheel off to get it back on. I know the cold weather had something to do with it, but i don't know for sure exactly what caused it. I changed the filters and cleaned the screen out and replaced the fluid. It cost me $240.00 and a lot of crawling around under the tractor, so anyways now i'm making sure that the fluid is warmed up before i attempt to do anything with the tractor now. The service manager at the dealership told me an old timer told him to turn on the pto as soon as i started the tractor and that would get the fluid flowing and help warm it up.Also I think i'm going to start using a magnetic heater on the transmission pan when it gets below 2o degrees. Can't hurt anything. [/QUOTE]
