Hello. I am new to the forum. I bought a Gehl 5635SXT skid steer 2 years ago. It turned out to be half rust and I just spent the last number of months taking out the engine, etc and cleaning everything up.
I was out in the woods on a hill side, slide down the hill. On my way coming out of the mess I slid into, I hit a small washout. In this wash out I heard a pop. It wasnt real loud, but noticeable. The skid steer would no longer drive the forward or backwards. The bucket would lift and tilt just fine. As I got out and looked around, hydraulic fluid was flowing out of the skid plate. I shut it off. Lifted the cab and looking around, I can not find any hoses that were broken. I filled the hydraulic reservoir with 2 more gallons of fluid, but still dont see any fluid coming out. At this point the skid steer wont turn over.
Could this leaking be a relief valve having issues? Both sides didnt work so I find it hard to thinks it was a main line going to the drive motor. Thoughts? Its not in a spot to easily work on and just pulling the pump will be a challenge.
Thank you.
