On my D14 the oil from my power director section keeps equalizing level into my hydraulic pump section. This makes the hydraulic side level way over the full mark. What is the most likely culprit causing this? Also, what is the purpose of the oil transfer tube up high between these two sections? Thanks. |

| Sitting in the seat, the Power Director/PTO gear compartment dipstick is to the left side of the instrument panel. Proper oil level is right down on the very bottom of the dipstick. And you say that oil level goes down and the hydraulic compartment (dipstick under the gas tank on the right side) goes up ??? Never seen that before. If anything the hydraulic compartment oil level is higher than the Power Director compartment. |

Happened to my D17 IV diesel a few years ago. Couldn't get a reading on the trans dipstick. Hydraulic dipstick was way above full. Replaced the transmission and PTO shaft seals and that fixed the problem. Best to replace the O ring on the PTO lever at the same time. Yes, you have to split the tractor...  ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| Now that I’ve gotten the tractor split and am looking at the dipstick heights better I see that the level in the hydraulic side is way higher. They’re not equalizing like I thought. So how could the oil on the power director side get pumped to the hydraulic side? My only guess is the seals on the main shaft are bad between those two sections. |
