That looks like the area under the seat of my 955L but that's where my batteries are. Is the picture of the clogged screen part of the magnetic filter and where is that located on your machine? I have a door on the left side of my machine with 2 canisters inside that look similar to the round one in your pic that Wags was asking about. I think the canisters inside of my door are the magnetic filters. I'm just wondering if I have more filters under the floor like I'm seeing in your pic.

OldandWorn,This is the veiw direc under the seat.

OldandWorn, This pic under set, Front of loder unit to right of pic.

Thanks for the nice pic. I hope cleaning the screen fixes your problem.

OldandWorn, Did u say your batteries R under your set,what unit do U have?My batteries R on the left side under arme rest. thur access door on outside of unit.

I also have a 955L but it sounds like they switched some things around on the later years, mine is a 1979. Batteries under the seat and some filters and dip sticks where your batteries are.

Oldandworn,Heres a pic of my units batteries location.

I have a 955K and my batteries aree also on the left side... open the cover. Flip the seat up and it looks like the one in the pics. Suction screen... in pic... Is there another cover where the line runs in? No wonder I could not find it. Mine is also pretty grubby, so the line is covered up. Wags

wagspe208,What cover are you looking for? suction screen for steering clutch lubrication system?or somethign else, what could you not find?

Gosh... It has been a while and I forgot. I think the steering clutch bevel gearcase suction screen. The trans screen is right next to the trans filter.... right? Thanks Wags

YES, on my unit it is .right next to the TRANS filter housing.

Thanks Wags Click to expand... Wag, you must be looking for the steering pump suction screen that Todd just pulled out. Check his pic pointing to the front of the back deck beside gthe suction line. Later Bob

Bob/Ont, got all filters & screen to replace in unit ,will complete this weekend. Weather permitting and creek don't rise. We'll start on break bands & clutches next project. Like you said lots of pics! Can't have too many always good references to go back to.

wagspe208, Going to try to get started as soon as possible, only two things making it slow going low temperatures, and low funds. I'm hoping both will get higher very quickly. I'll post any pics I have and any info. I'm going to try to restore my unit as far as the funds will allow, and right now that's finding all the good deals on parts I can get. But for me I love doing it so that's a big part of it. With the advice and knowledge the group has on the forum, I think that it will make it a lot easier. Good advice and information is worth its weight in gold. And when you've got some of these guys on here that have done this before and can give you little tips and tricks of the trade that's what it takes to get it done when you don't do this everyday.

Follow up on TRANS ,replaced all filters and cleaned and or replaced SCREENS. TRANS operating very smooth, goes into all 3 gears F/R with no trouble. SUCTION SCREEN was the trouble. THANKS for INFO!!!!!

wagspe208, I guess we can put this THREAD to bed, and like U say get on with the break bands. I have some other things going on with the old girl {955**,working on all of them as I go. Main thing is PARTS, find them at a good deal then get them delivered. I have some LEAKS to repair also, but the Break Bands are at the top of the list. Slow going when this is not your everday job!
