I have a 5030 Ford New Holland with an 8x8 trans. Was bush hogging and the PTO quit and loud squeal started. Sounded like maybe the hydraulic pump so I changed the one under the right side step. Started it back up and the noise was quieter but still making a noise turned on the PTO and it turned a little bit and quit and it started squealing again. Took the inspection plate off of the right side of the trans and it sounds like the squeal is coming from there and it looks to be leaking hydraulic oil there too.
My questions are. Is there a hydraulic pump in the front of the trans? Because there is hydraulic cooler lines running to the right side of the trans. And I took the top cover off of the trans and I don't see why they are there. Other than their must be a hydraulic pump there.
My next question is how does the independent PTO work? When I changed the side pump I could see the independent PTO clutch pack and shaft that runs the hydraulic pump. But the shaft coming out of the engine clutch doesn't look too line up with the PTO clutch pack. I mean how does the PTO stay running when the drive clutch is disengaged?
