240 Series II

I have recently got a hydraulic leak so I lifted the cab to check it out. On the bottom pan there is probably 2"-3" of stuff, combination of dirt, oil and who know what else. I started cleaning out the mess but it's very slow going as it is packed in very solid and getting around everything to access the lines but it is not very fun. Is there a removable belly pan on these machines? I have also noticed in the past that in the rear around the battery, hydraulic fluid reservoir etc there is a lot of dirt/mud packing in there and running a hose in there to wash it out just doesn't do much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

best way is to jack up the back. take all the sheet metal off around the seat and wash it out the front

Thanks farm shop. I had originally thought that the holes under the foot controls were angled up and then realized that the front part of the belly pan is flat. Should be easy enough to find my leak once I get it cleaned up.

Drive motor hoses are a good place to start. Also case drain hoses from the drive motors.
