    720 A leaking hydraulic fluid into transmission?

    Yes , I pulled the fill plug and got covered in oil. I am thinking there must be a seal in the hydraulic clutch booster that is getting back to the Trans? Not sure at this point . It went on the trailer and made it back to the yard. I put over 20 hours on it in the last few days. I am going...

    720 A leaking hydraulic fluid into transmission?

    We got our new blade to shift and now it seems to be leaking oil into the Trans. It is very over full . And is now dumping out the vent behind the cab . I was under the impression the Trans had it's own system. My main hydraulic tank is low and Trans has way to much. Any ideas?

    We have been trying to work the bugs out of our new 720 A . It has had transmission issues since we got it. Reverse always works but sometimes it looses all forward gears. I have been going through the electrical system. Cleaning plugs , dielectric grease ect. Changed the alternator today and...

    Just got a series 3 720 A

    First of all thank you to all of you who have been posting wisdom for years. I just arrived in the last 6 months. I really wanted to avoid owning a blade . As most of our work is taken care of by our Bobcat grader attachment with laser guidance. But since we have acquired this old girl I have...
