8050 transfilter change

[herk]

When changing the transfilter do you need to drain the transmission oil ??

I assume you are talking about the 2 hydraulic-differential filters underneath the rear of the tractor.. They set inside an internal canister with a spring loaded cover on the back side that seals off when removing the filters. You should only loose a half gallon or so when replacing them. Depending on which transmission youre tractor has, the power director transmission has a spin on filter and the power shift has an external mounted canister filter at the rear.

I don't care how talented you are (or think you are) but you'd be best served if you had an OWNERS MANUAL to this tractor. It has pictures and descriptions of how to do this. The fact that you don't know the transmission is separate from the hydraulics shows you don't know much about this tractor and that's bad when it comes to these filters.

That's great !! You'll see what I mean when you see the pictures. Don't forget to transfer over that suction screen and only use AGCO filters !!! Anything else may give you problems !!!!

I changed both on my 8030 last fall with Agco filters. I had started getting the 1800 rpm light on until it was fully warmed up. That went away with new filters and all new fluid.

I used a hydraulic hose in a remote port to pump out a good portion of the old fluid into 5 gallon pails first then drained the case next and only small amounts came out when pulling the filter covers. Watch carefully what you try to unbolt when pulling the filter covers. There are welded on nuts you use to screw the filter cover bolts back into to push the cover out from the transmission case.

I guess in 45 years of changing those filter, I've never used those "push-off" nuts. They would be full of dirt and rust anyway. Always just used a screwdriver to get under the lip and pry them off.
