Late last mowing season I developed a hydraulic leak on my 4016PS. I never got around to digging into it this winter, so it sat there in the shop slowly oozing oil with the help of gravity.
I dug into it this past Sunday. In less than two minutes I located and resolved the leak! The hydraulic system filter had vibrated loose almost a full turn.
Then I spent the next 3+ hours getting all the accumulated oil, grease, and grime off of the tractor.
I should have checked the filter at the first sign of a leak and saved a lot of cleaning. Live and learn.
