Versatile 895

I am "almost" tempted to look under our old 855 chore horse and see if the wall of the oil reservoir is recessed to allow for the brake disc mounted on the back of the "Flintstone" geared tranny. I seen something like that somewhere but can't remember for sure.

Wait for it.....

Yup, isn't that special!

Hydrolic tank is leaking on bottom . How horrible of a job is it to take out?

Did you get the tank out? Can you see exactly where it's leaking?
Not sure if someone who has actually done it(I haven't) has commented or not but looks like 7 options:

1. Take out cab floor, move hydraulic hose out of the way and maybe it will come out through the floor. That's if it can be maneuvered around the brake disc. I would do some measuring first.

2. Take off transmission input shaft and brake disc. This might free up enough room to get the tank out the front. The tank would need to be tipped up at the back and the hydraulic oil filters removed.

3. Take three bolts out of the transmission mount cross member, loosen the fourth and bar the transmission out of the way enough to remove tank. Might require removing shift linkage to the transmission, possibly taking off transmission input and output shafts and removing hydraulic filters.

4. Quit using that tank and put a new tank on somewhere you can actually get at it.

5. Park tractor

6. Use as is

7. Sell as is and replace

The tank is likely leaking in an area that is completely inaccessible to repair in place. Might even have rusted through.

I should have bought one at a Sale last year.

That is my next Rebuild project.

From bottom to top.
