He walks through unbolting the crossmember near the loader mount, prying out the tight-fitting strainer, and cleaning it with brake cleaner and compressed air. Useful for owners doing hydraulic fluid changes or troubleshooting wonky hydraulics on this tractor.
Posted by the Jimmy Lee Tennessee channel, an owner sharing his own hands-on maintenance work on his RK37 tractor.
Unbolt the crossmember near the loader mount, remove the clamp on the hose, then pry up hard on the pickup tube and work the strainer out with screwdrivers since it has a very tight tolerance fit.
The crossmember anchors to the front loader mount and sits right over the strainer, so it must be unbolted using an impact gun to access and remove the strainer.
The owner thought it would not be very dirty at 50 hours, but after cleaning it at 230-250 hours the metal was a noticeably different, cleaner color than before.
Yes, the video recommends supporting the tractor with a jack or similar support before removing the crossmember, even though the backhoe being attached seemed to help stabilize it.
