My 180 started pumping fluid out the breather/dipstick by the gear shift
The other was low
Filled it up and within a hour low again
Is there a quick fix for this or is it split the tractot

Sounds like the hydraulic line going to the lift cylinder is leaking. I would try lowering the lift all the way and seeing if it slows down or gets worse if you go all the way up. I don't know the number serries that we'll but it is a pretty common problem with the d serries and I think you have to split it to replace the line not sure.

A One Eighty has external lift cylinders for the lift arms.  That's not the problem.  I believe the usual problem is the oil seal between the transmission reservoir and the power director/hydraulics.  Someone else will chime in with more.

Just don't run it in Hi side of PD and should not transfer oil.    MACK

You need to split the tractor to change the input shaft and PTO seals.

there is no real issue in connecting the two compartments for a while. - The issue is some thing blew the seal - usually a high side sealing ring sized or the housing is worn - which will lead to burning the high range clutch at the least.  Oil for the clutch is supplied to the drilled housing and sealed by 3 piston rings. Somethings wrong...or going wrong

Anyone care to share what they used/have seen to adapt the case holes to a line fitting.  180 starting to transfer but am hoping to get by w/o Hi range.  Snow plow/loader tractor so should be okay until warmer weather....But just in case...Thanks...Dale

I got a new transmition drain plug drilled the center ut and taped it for a pipe fitting. The hydraulic is already a pipe fitting put a close reduced close couple a t on itplug in bottom and barbed fitting out the side. I used a street L and barbed fitting in the tapped trans drain plug and clear tubing between the 2. Had to get the yrans drain plug from AGCO it's not a standard thread i think the ug was aroud 10 dollars when i got one. You could just use yhe plug you e gof snd put a pipe ug in when you want to go back.
