    3400 Sediment Bowl Rust

    I acquired a 3400 about 7 years ago. At that time, I replaced the gas tank with a brand new one from YT because the old one was so rusty. Everything has been great since then until this year. It has been collecting about 1/4" of rust colored powder at the bottom of the sediment bowl and stops...

    Hydraulic Plumbing help please

    Thanks Andy. It sounds like I understand things correctly. I’ll start getting hoses measured and made to replumb this old girl. Luckily it already has quick couplers on the backhoe, so it should be pretty simple. Thanks for your help

    Hydraulic Plumbing help please

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear on that. It does have both a FEL and a backhoe. They just weren't attached when I bought it, so I had no idea how to plumb them

    Hydraulic Plumbing help please

    I am in the last stages of getting my 3400 project going. This tractor had the FEL and backhoe removed when i bought it, so I ended up hooking it back up just like it was plumbed (assuming it was plumbed correctly) and after multiple attempts and blown hoses I finally decided something must be...

    713 backhoe pressure line blowing

    Okay I’m back, unfortunately... I had a hose made to replace the hose clamp/splice that the tractor came with. I got it installed, fired up the tractor and was able to run it without anything blowing, sort of. There were no leaks or anything but when I tried the FEL levers, nothing happened...

    713 backhoe pressure line blowing

    Thank you very much for the help so far, I'd be lost without it. I'll have to study these diagrams for a little while and see what I need to do. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions

    713 backhoe pressure line blowing

    Thank you both for the replies! Andy, can you expand on this a little? Do you know where this selector valve is located? Is it something I have to manually switch? There is something that looks like a knob underneath the FEL valve but I have no idea what it does. Am I still right in assuming...

    713 backhoe pressure line blowing

    Hey all, I am so close to having my 3400 backhoe/FEL going. This was a project that I bought not running so I've never seen the backhoe or FEL working. I got the filter changed and put new fluid in. I started the tractor and the main pressure line popped and spilled fluid everywhere. I put it...

    backhoe/fel filter location

    Thanks everyone! I was able to get the last 2 lines ran and I found both the fill port and the filter location. I never would have guessed the filter area! Now I think the only question is how much fluid it needs. I have a manual, but it was misplaced during the last move and I cannot seem to...

    backhoe/fel filter location

    Hey all, Finally getting my project 3400 near finished. I have to run a couple hydraulic lines for the backhoe still but then I'll be ready to fill up the hydraulic reservoir and try it out. My question is, where is the filter for the backhoe and FEL hydraulic fluid located? This tractor...

    hydraulic line scematic

    I hate to be like this, but I may not be able to get them after all. Since I don't have my hydraulics completely done, I have everything on the b/h chained and strapped to the tractor. I cannot get the seat/floor taken off with the chains in the way and I don't have a way to take the b/h off of...

    hydraulic line scematic

    If you still need pictures or info, I may be able to get you some. I have a 3400 with I believe a 713 backhoe. I cant guarantee everything is right because I bought it as a project and lots of the tractor was disassembled. But the hydraulic lines on the backhoe are untouched as far as I know. In...

    3400 Hydraulic details

    Ok, all of the hydraulic lines are run except the supply lines. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where the tubes/hoses should be mounted to the tractor. I'm certain the supply lines go from the front pump, back to the backhoe, then to the FEL valve. I'm not sure how close the setup is on...
