What happens when a case drain filter is blocked?

What happens when a case drain filter is blocked?

When a filter is clogged like this one, hydraulic fluid can no longer flow through it, and thus the case drain line ends up blocked. This causes a build-up of pressure in the hydraulic side of the drive.

Where is the case drain filter on a final drive?

About 90% of all final drives have a return line to the tank, and the case drain filter (aka the in-line filter) is located on that return line. Many drives have only one case drain filter for both motors, but some will have a separate case drain filter for each.

What kind of case drain filter do I Need?

Many drives have only one case drain filter for both motors, but some will have a separate case drain filter for each. The case drain filter is typically a silver canister-style filter with a golden-colored element on the inside.
