    782 Hydro Leak Help

    OK, I'll see how that works. Sorry I haven't been active on the forum lately, my family went camping for a week at the Hocking Hills in Ohio, and we just got back to the Water-Winter Wonderland this afternoon. Just thinking out loud: what if the leak doesn't show itself? Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for the clarification about MachTech. I'll be sure to check them out. We DIDN'T pit in the 123 pump. It's for sale on Craigslist in the Jenison, Michigan area if you want it. I was just wondering if the valves on that older pump would work on the one in my 782, since I don't care about...

    I saw a guy wearing a different shirt like that. There was a pic of a narrow frame cub, like a 70 or 100 and it said Rusted But Still Trusted

    So a friend sent me a text..

    I have a 782 with a pulling tractor engine in it. It's got the spark advanced and the maintenance minder has registered about 2650 hours.

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    So... about the relief valve question: When I bought this tractor last July, the seller told us the transmission leaked a little. When I gave him my $200, he said that he also had a replacement pump, which I now think is from a 123. It is the same basic pump, but without ports for the hydraulic...

    Yes, I knew those were the relief valves. How do I do business with this Mach Yech character? Also, how much does he charge? I'm only 14 and still trying to track down a steady job so cash is an issue.

    Incorrect. The transmission only leaks when it is under pressure, when the engine is running, for example.

    The hydro as seen from below. There is a little bit of oil on the filter. All this was clean Saturday afternoon.

    Thanks for the input. What do we need to do to fix the relief valves if that is the problem?

    Yes, we replaced the filter, which we got from a local Cub Cadet dealer. Sprinkling the unit with talcum powder seems to be a good idea to me, but I'm worried it could get into the system and mess it up if the leak is on top.

    Tank you for this crucial piece of advice. Luckily my dad and I haven't gone anywhere near my tractor today. We are both new at working on hydros. All we know is from a video by the youtuber Wood And Metal Shop Time.

    Thank you for the feedback, grippers. We did notice that the leak seemed to be coming from the top of the unit, and I felt dripping under the hydraulic lines. Maybe we'll have to take them off and wrap them with Teflon tape.
